The two girls exchanged a long look.
“Do you really mean that?” asked Madeleine.
“I was never more in earnest in my life.”
“But, can’t you explain?” demanded Judith Blount.
Molly shook her head and rushed from the room.
“Come on, Judith,” said Madeleine, slipping on her ulster.
“But, this is absurd!” objected Judith again.
“Child,” exclaimed her friend, “don’t you know human nature well enough to understand that a girl like Molly Brown would never have given a piece of advice like that without knowing what she was talking about?”
“She’s jealous because she would like to earn the money herself.”
