"She's darker, at least, than I am." "We all are," said Henrietta, with an admiring glance at Marjory's golden locks. "We seem to shade down gradually. Mabel comes next, then Jean, then Bettie; I'm the darkest, because Bettie's eyes are like brown velvet, but mine are black, like bits of hard coal. Where does Rosa Marie come in?" "I think," said Marjory, with an air of pondering deeply, "that Rosa Marie is almost, if not quite, as dark as you; even darker, perhaps. SHE'S DARKER AT LEAST THAN I AM WE ALL ARE SAID HENRIETTA WITH AN ADMIRING GLANCE AT MARJORIE'S GOLDEN LOCKS WE SEEM TO SHADE DOWN GRADUALLY MABEL COMES NEXT THEN JEAN THEN BETTY I'M THE DARKEST BECAUSE BETTY'S EYES ARE LIKE BROWN VELVET BUT MINE ARE BLACK LIKE BITS OF HARD COAL WHERE DOES ROSARY COME IN I THINK SAID MARGERY WITH AN AIR OF PONDERING DEEPLY THAT ROSARY IS ALMOST IF NOT QUITE AS DARK AS YOU ARE EVEN DARKER PERHAPS

"Who--Mrs. Crane?" "No, Rosa Marie. You see, we don't know exactly how old she is--Mabel didn't think to ask--but she seems big enough to be lots smarter than she is. We're rather disappointed in her." "I'm not," protested Mabel, loyally. "She's just slow because she hasn't any little brothers and sisters. She's a _dear_ child." "Cheer up, Mabel," soothed Henrietta. "As long as she's beautiful she doesn't need to be bright." At this, Marjory looked at Jean, then at Bettie, and smiled an odd, significant smile. Here was a chance to get even with Henrietta; and, unconsciously, Mabel helped. "She's beautiful to me," said Mabel, "and she's ever so cunning." "What color are her eyes?" "Dark," said Marjory. "Darker than yours." "Then she's a brunette?" "Ye-es," said Marjory, as if considering the question.
