He wouldn't do me half the harm." Then after a pause, "I suppose, if you haven't noticed it, then Lloyd hasn't either, that Bernice is bitterly jealous of her." "No, I am sure she has not." "Then I wish you'd drop her a hint.

I couldn't mention the subject to her, because it is an old fight of ours.

You know how we've squabbled for hours over it--the difference between the codes of honor in a girl's friendships and boys'.

No matter how carefully I made the distinction that I meant the average girl, and not all of them, she always flared into a temper, and in order to be loyal to her entire sex, took up arms against me in a regular pitched battle.

She's ordered me off the place more than once, and yet in her soul I believe she agrees with me." "But, Rob, if that is a pet theory of yours that you go around applying in a wholesale way, isn't it barely possible that you've made a mistake this time and imagined that Bernice is two-faced in her friendship ?" Rob shook his head.
