"Was she good or bad, Maggie?"
"Some think her quite celestial and some think her quite infernal," answered Maggie with grand emphasis; "but on the whole I think she was not either, only rather middling like the most of us."
Nellie felt more confident than ever; but not caring to risk one of her three guesses as yet, she passed on. The questions she put to Mabel and Frankie were simple and very easily answered; then came Gracie's turn.
"What was she celebrated for?"
"For cruelty and persecuting people," answered Gracie confidently; and Nellie's idea was at once put to flight by the reply.
"That's a mistake," said Dora. "You are thinking of another character, Gracie."
"I'm not, either," said Gracie. "Don't I know history better than any of you?"
"You don't know that, anyway," said Maggie. "Gracie, you are wrong. She was not the character you are thinking of, and was not celebrated for that."
"But she was," persisted Gracie.
