"I hate to be always on the edge of things, and never in them.
We never stay in a place long enough at a time to make any real friends or have any good times." Chattering and laughing, and asking eager questions, the girls hurried up the stairs to Mrs.Sherman's room.
Almost a year had gone by since Eugenia and Lloyd had parted on the lantern decked lawn at Locust, the last night of the house party.

"Really, you are taller than I," exclaimed Mrs.Sherman, in the midst of an affectionate greeting, as she held her off for a better view.

"You'd nevah think that she was only fifteen, would you ?" "I had to have them made long," explained Eugenia, much flattered by Lloyd's speech.
