"I can just imagine Mr. Sneed in that rôle," said Alice to Ruth, with a laugh. "He won't like that a bit!"
"I suppose not. Still, we have to do many things in this moving picture business that we don't like."
"I like every bit of it!" Alice declared. "I think it's all fun!"
"I wish I had your happy way of looking at things!" sighed Ruth. "It is a great help in getting through life."
"Why don't you practice it?" Alice asked. "It's easy, once you start. There are so many funny things in this world."
"And so many sad ones!"
"Bosh!" laughed Alice. "Excuse my slang, sister mine, but you ought to read fewer of those romantic stories, and more joke books. Oh, there goes Paul, and with a fish pole, too. I'm going with him!"
"He hasn't asked you!"
"What of it? I know he'll be glad to have me. Oh, here comes Laura Dixon after him. I'm going to get there first. Paul! Paul!" Alice called, "can't I go fishing, too?"
"Of course!" he cried, his face lighting up with pleasure. "Come along. I've got an extra line and hooks in my pocket, and we can cut a pole along the stream. Come along."
