I was rather hurt by his neglect of us.

But Polly said positively, "That is Leo's way.

He likes new friends.

But when he treats me like that, I do not speak to him for a week afterwards." That evening a cab carried off the stranger, and next day Leo came to us in the square, all smiles and friendliness.
"I've been so wanting to see you!" he cried, in the most devoted tones.

But Polly only took up her doll, and with her impressive nose in the air, walked off to the house.
I could not quarrel with Leo myself, and we were soon as friendly as ever.
"I want to tell you some news, Regie," he said.
