"My name is Philip Guy Brentwood,—what is yours?"
"Miss Walcott," May answered with great dignity and entire forgetfulness of her part.
"'Miss' Walcott? That's a queer name for a boy! Where are you going, Miss Walcott?"
"To Cedarville."
"I may see you there, although I don't associate with everybody in Cedarville. My grandpapa, Dr. Brentwood, is the biggest man there."
"How big is he?" May asked, with eager interest. "As big as a dime museum man?"
"I don't mean that kind of big; he's the richest man in Cedarville."
"He is a cad," thought May.
"Are you going to board in Cedarville?" questioned inquisitive Philip Guy.
