“But Hazel, she was just lovely to Larry. I think she's nice, Papa, and such lovely cheeks and hair.” Here Jane sighed.
“Oh, has she? She is quite a grown-up young lady, is she not?”
“She has her hair up, Papa. She's sixteen, you know.”
“I remember you told me that she had reached that mature age.”
“And I think Larry liked her, too.”
“Ah? And why do you think so?”
“He just looked at her, and looked, and looked.”
“Well, that seems fairly good evidence.”
“And he is coming up here to-night when we bring him his good clothes.”
