You may inform Miss Taylor that I have altered my decision.

I shall raise no further objections to her as a roommate." With a pompous gesture of dismissal this self-centered young woman rose and walked majestically to the window.

Turning her back squarely upon Grace and Elfreda, she appeared to be deeply absorbed in watching what went on in the street, and, divided between vexation and laughter, the two girls left the room.

Elfreda hurried back to her unpacking and Grace to her own room.
"It is all right, Miss Taylor.

Your roommate is prepared to receive you," Grace announced.
"I shall be glad to have some place I can call all my own," sighed the little girl, "but I know I shall never like her," she added resentfully.
"On the contrary, you may learn to like her very much," returned Grace.
"Now I'll help you with your things." Picking up Miss Taylor's heavy suit case, Grace escorted her to the door of the end room.
"How did it happen ?" greeted Anne, when five minutes later Grace returned alone, smiling and triumphant.
"Don't ask me," laughed Grace.
