I wonder why? thought Glen, as a maid came to show her her room.
She looked back and asked, "Where is your room?"
"I don't know yet," returned Glen.
"Please don't go far away from me. Please don't."
"All right," replied Glen. "I'll see to that."
The maid smiled, but Glen's scowl quickly frightened it away.
"We'll have to fix something up," he said. "She'd better be somebody's sister. I'm too old; you take it on, Jim."
"Yes, Jim's most suitable. He's not much older—a matter of three or four years," agreed Bill.
"His sister!"
Jim didn't like the relationship. Once it was established it might be difficult to induce her to change the feeling. He must accept, however; there was no excuse for not doing so.
