However, as there was a dictionary in the room, it was thought best to consult it.
"Here it is, 'mutual giving and returning,'" Maurice announced, when he found the place.
"'Giving and returning,'" Rosalind repeated; "Maurice, look for 'mutual.'"
"It means almost the same thing,' something reciprocal, in common,'" he said presently.
"Then it means to do things for each other. I like that. Why couldn't we put that in Article II? It means 'helping.'"
"How about qualifications, then?" asked Maurice.
"I don't think I'd have any. We'll only ask the people we want."
So reciprocity was added to Article II. As he wrote, Maurice laughed. "I'll bet they won't any of them know what it means," he said.
"Then Article IV will be the watchword, 'The Forest,'" added Rosalind. "And, Maurice, don't you think it would be nice to choose a leaf for a badge? But perhaps we'd better decide that at the next meeting. Don't you think it is going to be fun?"
Maurice agreed that it was, feeling sure Jack and Belle and Katherine must be impressed with the result of their afternoon's work. He had a new blank-book ready for the constitution, and on the first page he had already written: "The Arden Foresters—Secret Society," and at Rosalind's suggestion he now added the motto, "Good in everything."
