She is very pretty and very much spoilt, and she cares far too much for admiration.

My sister used to be very fond of her--she was quite a favourite at one time; but the other day she owned that she was greatly disappointed in her, and that she was afraid Tina was rather an empty headed little thing." "Oh yes, we understand that, don't we, Betty ?" retorted Cedric, nodding at Elizabeth knowingly as she entered the room.

"Tina is in your black books now." But Elizabeth received this with perfect serenity.
"Oh, she is an amusing child," she returned carelessly, "but she makes a very common mistake.

She thinks a pretty face and a flippant tongue and a childish manner are perfectly irresistible, but in her study of mankind she is certainly an unlessoned girl." "I think old David admires her," observed Cedric casually.

He spoke in such a matter-of-fact way that Elizabeth was quite taken in.
"To be sure he admires her," she said seriously.
