Because I really think that there is nothing so
wonderful as two girls when they stand up for each other and help each
other a lot. Because no matter how vigarous Lady Francis Beekman seems
to be, she had to realize that she could not sink a whole fleet full of
ships. So she had to stop talking against my reputation.
So then she said she would drag it into the court and she would say
that it was undue influence. So I said to her, “If you wear that hat
into a court, we will see if the judge thinks it took an undue
influence to make Sir Francis Beekman look at a girl.” So then Dorothy
spoke up and Dorothy said “My girl friend is right, Lady. You have got
to be the Queen of England to get away with a hat like that.” So Lady
Francis Beekman seemed to get quite angry. So then she said she would
send for Sir Francis Beekman where he suddenly went to Scotland, to go
hunting when he found out that Lady Francis Beekman had found out. So
Dorothy said “Do you mean that you have left Sir Francis Beekman loose
with all those spendthrifts down in Scotland?” So Dorothy said she
would better look out or he would get together with the boys some night
and simply massacre a haypenny. I mean I always encouradge Dorothy to
talk quite a lot when we are talking to unrefined people like Lady
Francis Beekman, because Dorothy speaks their own languadge to
unrefined people better than a refined girl like I. So Dorothy said,
“You had better not send for Sir Francis Beekman because if my girl
friend really wanted to turn loose on Sir Francis Beekman, all he would
have left would be his title.” So then I spoke right up and said Yes
that I was an American girl and we American girls do not care about a
title because we American girls always say that what is good enough for
Washington is good enough for us. So Lady Francis Beekman really seemed
to get more angry and more angry all of the time.
