Hoping to hear from you very soon, I am, ever with dearest love,

BLUE BONNET.
human
At the Copley Plaza! For three days! To visit Blue Bonnet!
gpt
Isn't it a blessing that our vacation begins on the first, too? Debby said.
human
There ought not to be a thing to hinder our going.
gpt
Nothing but--just one thing, Debby. It takes a lot of pretty clothes to stay in a place like the Copley Plaza. And those 'Lambs!' Blue Bonnet says they dress beautifully. Now, what have we got to wear in a crowd like that?
human
If they're going to like us just for our clothes, Kitty! protested Amanda.
gpt
Besides, you have that new blue voile; you're a dream in it; and Sarah has her wine-colored henrietta. Maybe the rest of us could scrape up something; there's--let's see, four or five days yet.
human
Maybe we could get something in Boston, Debby suggested.
gpt
Blue Bonnet says they have wonderful bargains. You know she got all her clothes for school ready made, and they were as stylish as could be.
human
Perhaps we could; that's an idea, Debby, Kitty remarked thankfully.
gpt
It's time for spring clothes anyway. We shouldn't want Blue Bonnet to be ashamed of us.
human
Blue Bonnet wouldn't be ashamed of us--no matter what we wear. She's not that kind.
gpt
But she'd like to be proud of us, nevertheless. Those 'Lambs' come from awfully rich families; they must, or they couldn't be in that school. It costs a small fortune to go there.

Blue Bonnet says they are not a bit airy, though, Kitty; and you hardly ever hear a word about money. Blue Bonnet says Miss North is a regular stickler for simplicity, and that she's forever telling the girls where to place values in this world.
gpt
Where does she place them--these values? What are values anyway?
human
I believe I know, she said.
gpt
That's one of father's hobbies. It means getting a true estimate of life. We should value things that are worth while, like education and refinement, honesty and courage. It's very vulgar to put value on money; gentle birth and good breeding count for much more.
human
I guess our grandsires could measure up with anybody's, Amanda said proudly.
gpt
We're every one eligible to the Daughters of the Revolution.
human
What's the matter with the We Are Sevens?
gpt
Who's all right? We're all right!
