Now, are you satisfied, Alma? asked Wyn.
gpt
You would insist the visitor was a boy.
human
It may be her brother, replied the brown-haired one,
gpt
But isn't she sweet?
human
Princes aside, I like her most as well as Alma's vision, declared Thistle.
gpt
And did you notice how matter-of-fact she donned Bluebird's outfit? What are we going to say to her if she happens back tonight?
human
Gone to the tailor's to be pressed, suggested Pell, glibly.
gpt
There come the others. Now for a lecture.
human
We heard all about it, girls, she began.
gpt
Met that precious James Jimmie Jimsby of yours, and he said it was in no way your fault.
human
Bless the boy! murmured Pell.
gpt
We shall certainly have to adopt the list of Jays. First we capsize his boat and then he pleads for us. Now isn't that gallant?
human
But Becky, began Thistle, sidling up to the popular leader,
gpt
Rebel! exclaimed Wyn.
human
How do you know Nora was anything like that?
gpt
Well, Mrs. Ted Manton said as much, didn't she?
human
She didn't, replied Pell crisply.
gpt
She merely said that Nora had very little experience in girls' sports.
human
I know, interrupted the leader.
gpt
Mrs. Manton has mentioned her to me, and I am very glad you have succeeded in interesting her. I fancy she is a very capable child, with too much time on her hands.
human
Oh, sighed Betta.
gpt
If we had only known it we could have borrowed some. What ever shall we do to get in a day's work now?
human
Lunch first and then do double quick duty, suggested the young leader.
gpt
It has been rather a lost day, counting by the usual results, but then, we have to figure in the new friend.
human
You're a love, Becky, declared Treble.
gpt
I am sure you are going to help me with my basket. It has to be done tomorrow, if I am to get full credit for it.
human
Where's Alma?
gpt
Pouting, replied Wyn.
human
You are not to know it, of course, but Alma's in love!
gpt
She may be hanging up wet clothes, suggested Pell.
human
When they're in love they do foolish things like that, I've heard tell.
gpt
Girls! Didn't you hang up your wet things yet?
