“They cut some of the speeches, you know,” said Cathalina. “I was surely glad to have mine cut, and Patty was kind.”
“Cathalina had to learn her part in one week, Aunt Hilary. One of the girls who was to have the part came down with measles. Imagine it,—in your senior year and just at Commencement! So Cathalina was asked to do it.”
