JUST LIKE A FISH

GYPSY
human
Why, Kathryn, I think you're _awfully_ pretty! Betty Lee exclaimed in some surprise.
gpt
And I'm not saying that just to console you, either. Why, the _idea_!
human
Well, Betty, you needn't go that far. I don't have to be pretty to be happy, you know; but it did hurt to have her tell me that Peggy said it.
gpt
In the first place, Kathryn, I don't believe Peggy ever said it. You know what people say goes with their _characters_. And Peggy isn't like that.
human
N-no, replied Kathryn, doubtfully.
gpt
Peggy has always seemed to like me.
human
I think that it was just a hateful twisting of something Peggy did say, or maybe it was just made up. What sort of a girl is this Mathilde Finn anyway? And how is it that I haven't met her if she goes to Lyon High?
gpt
Oh, she was out last year, at a private school, but she is coming back. They have plenty of money and Mathilde thinks that she is everybody, you know. She was abroad this summer and was somewhere with Peggy last week. They came back earlier than they intended. Somebody was sick. The girls used to call her 'Finny' and I imagine that she will hear the same nickname this year, though she hates it.
human
If she only knew it, she's given you a pretty nice nickname at that. Why shouldn't you _like_ to be called Gypsy? Why, Kathryn, I know a perfectly _darling_ girl, only a grown-up one, that everybody calls Gypsy; and she likes it and signs her letters Gypsy!
gpt
To be told that I looked like a horrid old gypsy!
human
You couldn't look horrid if you tried, Kitten. I've seen you this summer in your worst old clothes, haven't I now?
gpt
You certainly have,
