You have to bring 'em up when I'm not around, don't you, Winnie? he said humorously, slipping into the chair vacated by Rosemary.
gpt
What mischief are they into now?
human
Winnie is mad because I am going to have my hair bobbed like Nina Edmonds', she informed her brother.
gpt
I think bobbed hair is as pretty as it can be, don't you, Hugh?
human
It seems a pity when she has such nice hair,
gpt
Bob your hair! thundered Doctor Hugh.
human
Of all the foolish notions, that is the worst. This comes from talking foolish clatter with that empty-headed silly little chit last night. The babbling brook must have been named for her.
gpt
Yes, isn't she silly? said Sarah scornfully.
human
Shirley doesn't like her, either.
gpt
Nina Edmonds is my friend, began Rosemary, scarlet-cheeked.
human
You--
gpt
I beg your pardon, Rosemary, said the doctor instantly.
human
I honestly do. I had no right to speak like that. But you mustn't think of bobbing your curly mop, dear.
gpt
Sarah's hair is bobbed,
human
It was cut to make it grow, answered the doctor.
gpt
Mother told me. You certainly don't need to treat your hair to make it grow, Rosemary.
human
Write and ask Mother,
gpt
No, Mother isn't to be asked a single question for a year, Doctor Hugh announced firmly.
human
We'll settle our problems without bothering her. Rosemary is not to meddle with her hair--that's flat.
gpt
Oh, Hugh, I want to bob it! insisted Rosemary.
human
Ever so many of the girls do--not just Nina Edmonds, but half the girls in school. I don't see why you are so cross about it. Can't I get it cut to-morrow? Please?
gpt
I said NO! he repeated.
human
Once and for all, Rosemary, I positively forbid you to have your hair cut. Do you understand me?
gpt
Sarah, Oh, Sarah! Sally Waters, I'm calling you!
human
Well, what do you want? she asked ungraciously.
gpt
Don't you dare call me Sally, Jack Welles!
human
I'll call you Sadie, then, said the boy obligingly.
gpt
Where's Rosemary?
