Say! What's the reason we couldn't get somebody else to take us just as well?
Ain't that rulable ?" "It would be allowable--" "Allowable, I mean," Mela corrected herself.
"But it might look a little significant, unless it was some old family friend." "Well, let's get Mr.Fulkerson to take us.

He's the oldest family friend we got." "I won't go with Mr.Fulkerson," said Christine, serenely.
"Why, I'm sure, Christine," her mother pleaded, "Mr.Fulkerson is a very good young man, and very nice appearun'." Mela shouted, "He's ten times as pleasant as that old Mr.Beaton of Christine's!" Christine made no effort to break the constraint that fell upon the table at this sally, but her father said: "Christine is right, Mela.

It wouldn't do for you to go with any other young man.

Conrad will go with you." "I'm not certain I want to go, yet," said Christine.
"Well, settle that among yourselves.

But if you want to go, your brother will go with you." "Of course, Coonrod 'll go, if his sisters wants him to," the old woman pleaded.
