"Where's that girl ?" she demanded, sharply.
"What girl ?" "Tato." "Tato, my dear coz, is a boy," answered Kenneth; "and he disappeared ages ago." "You must be blind," said Beth, scornfully, "not to recognize a girl when you see one.

A boy, indeed!" "Why, he dressed like a boy," replied Kenneth, hesitatingly.
"So much the more disgraceful," sniffed Beth.

"She belongs to those brigands, I suppose." "Looks something like Victor Valdi," said Patsy, thoughtfully.

"Oh, yes, he can," answered Louise, beginning to cry.
