CHAPTER XVIII
“Well?”
“You want to see your brother graduate?”
“Of course I do. We have not made any definite plans as yet, but I have been counting on being at Harvard for all of commencement week, if I can manage to get permission. Fred wants me to bring Mary and Beth, too.”
“That will be fine, but don’t you see that Fred cannot do justice to three young ladies? Let me do the honors of Harvard as far as you are concerned. Come, now, promise!”
Dolly shook her head. “Fred is a model brother, and I am sure that he would be utterly disgusted if I should make any such promise as that. I think that he will be equal to the three of us, but I shall be glad if you will assist him in his onerous duties.”
“You are not very generous to me, but when you find Fred engrossed with Miss Sutherland, and entirely oblivious to the fact that he has a sister, I will forgive you, and take you under my protecting care.”
“Fred will not forget me.”
Her companion laughed mischievously. “I would like to make a wager on that point, but I know that you never bet–so all I can do is to wait for the future to prove me a true prophet.”
