Then what happened?
gpt
Much, Amanda. We went up on top of the Stadium. It has a promenade all round it, on top; the view is beautiful--the Charles River, and Cambridge across it, and thousands and thousands of automobiles, and the crowd moving in a solid mass--the people still cheering and laughing--oh, it was great! I felt as if I wanted to stay on forever!

It must have been heavenly, Kitty murmured.
gpt
Did the girls look pretty?
human
Pretty? Well, they certainly did. I was just going to tell you about that. The Yale girls all wore big bunches of violets--a Yale emblem. The Harvard girls wore dark red chrysanthemums. I had some, and a pennant, which I waved madly. There were more pretty gowns than you ever saw at one time in all your life. Great splashes of color all through the crowd; and the furs--that reminds me: all of a sudden I realized that my fur was gone. The white fox that Uncle Cliff gave me last Christmas. You can imagine the sinking sensation of my heart.
gpt
Oh, dear, you lost it?
human
Yes, but I found it. It had slipped off my back and dropped behind the seat. You can believe I held on to it mighty tight after that.
gpt
Did you go home then?
human
Go home? Well, I should say not. People never go home until they have to, after a big game like that; they're too excited--they have to work it off gradually. Cousin Tracy and I went to dinner where there were loads of Harvard people dining. After dinner we went to a light opera, and there--
gpt
Imagine! Why, the Harvard men didn't let him finish the first line before they had him off the stage--
human
Mobbed him?
gpt
Call it what you like. I don't think they injured him, for he came back and sang Harvard songs--nothing else; sang like an angel, too.
human
Oh, but you were in luck, Blue Bonnet, Kitty sighed.
gpt
I could die happy if I'd had your chance.
human
It does make you feel that way, Kitty. I can see myself telling my grandchildren about that game. It's almost like an inheritance, something you can pass along. I've cut out all the notices from the papers and kept the literature they passed around. Now, I think I've told you every blessed thing. Would you all like to come up-stairs and see my new clothes?
