"To see you! Did he come to take you sleigh-riding again?"
"He said nothing about sleigh-riding."
"The snow is all slush down in the city. What did he want to see you for, then?" said Madge, turning round upon her sister, while at the same time she was endeavouring to extricate her head from her bonnet, which was caught upon a pin.
"He had something to say to me," Lois answered, trembling with an odd sort of excitement.
"What?—Lois, not that?" cried Madge, stopping with her bonnet only half off her head. But Lois nodded; and Madge dropped herself into the nearest chair, making no further effort as regarded the bonnet.
"Lois!—What did you say to him?"
"What could I say to him?"
"Why, two or three things, I should think. If it was I, I should think so."
"There can be but one answer to such a question. It must be yes or no."
"I am sure that's two to choose from. Have you gone and said yes to that man?"
