"Standing—"
There was a ripple of laughter from the other side of the door.
"Oh, don't! I can see it! I—I can't come."
Molly had started giggling directly Nell's laugh reached her.
"Oh, Nell, don't be—so mean! You—you're making me laugh!"
"Why don't you come in?"
"I daren't!"
Inside and outside the door there was laughter then. Then a despairing—
"You go down, M-Molly! I'll come in a minute!"
