"It is not that, goosie," said Zee with lofty scorn. "But Treasure and
I bet a dollar on it--and I picked the bishop--I never dreamed that
Doris would go back on us preachers--and now I haven't got the dollar."
"Serves you right," said MacCammon grimly. "I am glad you lost. And
you can't get a loan out of me. If you had bet on me, I'd give you the
dollar and tickled to death."
"Come on back to father," said Zee, struggling heroically to rise to
the heights required. "This is father's day. I may be bankrupt, and
ruined, and facing degradation, and all that--but I can still scare up
a smile for him."
