"They said----" went on Leslie in excited whisper. "They said that since we had such a large sum to look out for now that the subscriptions for the sorority house were coming in, we should put in a treasurer of tried and true integrity. Yes, they used just those words, _tried and true integrity_! Think of it! And OUR JANE! The idea! The catty little snobs! The jealous little--_cats_! No, it wasn't Eugenia Frazer who _said_ it, it was Eunice Brice--but I'm certain she was at the bottom of it, for she sat with her nice smug little painted face as sweet and complacent as an angel, all the time it was going on, and she _seconded the motion_! Just like that! With a SMILE, too! She said she fully agreed with what Miss Brice had said. _Agreed!_ H'm!

I don't seem to have seen her! Where is she?" "She is Miss Bristol," said Julia Cloud, stiffening just a little at the young fellow's tone of insolence. "She is in college and very busy, but has been unusually busy since you have been here because she is caring for a little child whose mother has been very ill." "Oh!--You mean she's a sort of sehvant?"--He drawled the question most offensively, and Julia Cloud had a sudden ridiculous impulse to seize his sleek shoulder and shake him. Instead she only smiled and quoted a Bible verse: "I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth." Clive eyed her with a puzzled expression:
