Now she accepted and tested every suggestion offered by her stepmother.
Unselfishly Jack was delighted with Jeanette's progress.
The question of winning or losing made no difference to her. She should, however, have appreciated that Jeanette was young and that success appeared as a very different thing to her.
In fact, Jeanette herself was surprised by the increasing intensity of her desire.
She also had outside spurs to her ambition.
Upon his almost daily visits to the Rainbow Ranch Cecil Perry never failed to appear amused by Jeanette's efforts.
Never had he been able to forgive her attitude toward him, nor had he the magnanimity not to wish to be revenged.
After Jeanette's suggestion a club had been formed of the girls and boys in the neighborhood which they had named "The Silver Arrow."
Recalling Jeanette's sharp speech to him on the afternoon of the tea, at first Cecil had declined to join. Yielding to Lina's protests that he must not behave so childishly, he at last became a member of "The Club of the Silver Arrow," though this did not mean that he had forgiven Jeanette.
One morning just before lunch he was seated on the veranda with the other Rainbow Ranch Girls when Jeanette and Jack came riding toward the house to dismount.
