You are getting altogether too proud, sister mine, asserted Fred.
gpt
If Westover should actually happen to win something in tomorrow's contest, there will be no living with you.
human
I am proud of the girls and of the college, and of everything connected with it.
gpt
To tell the truth, I am rather proud of you! I don't wish to make you conceited and all puffed up with vanity, but really, Dolly, you make a first-class president. We are just brimming over with pride. Can't you see how satisfied Father and Mother are looking? You owe me something for getting Rob to coach you last year. I verily believe that you were just about ready to give up then.
human
I was, for a fact, and I shall be grateful to you all my life, Fred, for what you planned. Just think of missing this,
gpt
It would have been too bad, that's sure, affirmed Dick Martin, who chanced to be present.
human
I never saw a more ideal Commencement. Perfect weather, lovely girls and original programs. How did you ever manage it all so smoothly, Miss Dolly? I see that your special friends captured the choicest prizes and scholarships. Was it all a prearranged plan? Things went your way--you could hardly ask anything more than you and your friends got.
gpt
Yes, I could, and Dolly sobered down.
human
The athletic contests come tomorrow, the very last thing on our program. We could not get them in before, and perhaps it is just as well, for I do not expect that we shall win any glory.
gpt
I thought Fred said that Miss Sutherland was to save the day for you?
human
She is our only hope; the rest of the girls do not amount to anything. But Vassar and Smith, to say nothing of Cornell and Wellesley and Mount Holyoke, have been boasting so securely since they arrived that our hopes are now below zero.
gpt
You are anxious to win?
human
Very. Westover has been out of all athletic contests for so long that we want to get our place again, and if our own particular class could achieve that, we should feel that we had nothing more to ask.
gpt
I should say you wouldn't have, for your class is leaving a great record here, that is sure. I have faith in your friend. I believe that she will help you out, despite all the boasting of the others.
human
I hope you are right. I do hope it. I shall be so glad, so glad--
gpt
So glad, that you will grant all sorts of favors?
human
Yes, quite glad enough to do anything for anyone,
gpt
I am going to remind you of that tomorrow evening, Dick said quietly.
human
I am confident now that Miss Sutherland will come off victorious.
