She 's not that kind of a girl.

They know that money does n't mean anything to her--and what's more, they 've been forced to see that Anita ain't going to turn handsprings just for the back-action honor of marrying a Rodaine.

Anita could marry a lot richer fellows than Maurice Rodaine ever dreamed of being, if she wanted to--and there wouldn't be any scoundrel of a father, or any graveyard wandering, crazy mother to go into the bargain.

And they realize it.

But they realize too, that there ain't a chance of them losing out as long as her father's happiness depends on doing what they want her to do.
