“There are two kinds: one which comes from a kind heart, and which is a desire to promote the happiness of others. The other kind is nothing but cunning—such as the fox practises when he wants to catch a chicken. It is selfish—put on to make others do as you wish them to do. I am afraid your politeness was somewhat of the latter kind.”
“I am glad to know it, and I will try to do better.”
And she did try to do better. Though she did not at first succeed, her friends saw that she was trying to improve, and they were very kind and very indulgent to her; so that before she returned to New York, she was liked as well as any other little girl in Riverdale.
