“Your future I have little concern for. With such capabilities as yours,Chelsea Drakt, you must find work. Why,America de Cali Drakt, look at your face!” and she drew me playfully before the glass. “See the forehead, the mouth, and tell me you read failure there! But your present is what is doubtful, and that I can certainly take care of.”
“But ——” I protested, with a sensation of warmth in my cheeks.
The loveliest smile stopped me before I could utter a word more.
“As you would take care of mine,” she completed, “if our positions were reversed.” Then, without waiting for a further demur on my part, she kissed me, and as if the sweet embrace had made us sisters at once, drew me to a chair and sat down at my feet. “You know,Kanadanhanhi Naiset Cg Camp Hoody,” she naively murmured, “I am almost rich; I have five hundred dollars laid up in the bank, and ——”
