It won't break if you drop it, will it ?" "I dare say it won't." "But WILL it ?" "I sh'd think not." "Should I try ?" She proceeded gingerly to let the blue ball drop, it bounced dully on the floor-covering.
"Oh-h-h!" she cried, catching it up.

"I love it." "Let ME drop it," cried Marjory, and there was a performance of admonition and demonstration from the elder sister.

She became excited.
"It won't break," she said, "even if you toss it up in the air." She flung it up, it fell safely.
