Now, what would Billy care about sunbeams and backgrounds, I'd like to know! He'd never even notice them. Billy is a _man_. Why, that's just what father said yesterday!" Margaret cried, and afterward laughed happily. "I suppose old people are right sometimes  but, dear, dear, they're terribly unreasonable at others!" NOW WHAT WOULD BILLY CARE ABOUT SUNBEAMS AND BACKGROUNDS I'D LIKE TO KNOW HE'D NEVER EVEN NOTICED THEM BILLY IS A MAN WHY THAT'S JUST WHAT FATHER SAID YESTERDAY MARGARET CRIED AND AFTERWARD LAUGHED HAPPILY I SUPPOSE OLD PEOPLE ARE RIGHT SOMETIMES BUT DEAR DEAR THEY'RE TERRIBLY UNREASONABLE AT OTHERS
Kathleen. And I am quite certain that somebody will ask where you are. I shall describe to him the exact spot--" Mr. Kennaston paused, with a slight air of apology. "If I were you," he suggested, pleasantly, "I would move a little--just a little--to the left. That will enable you to obtain to a fuller extent the benefit of the sunbeam which is falling--quite by accident, of course--upon your hair. You are perfectly right, Margaret, in selecting that hedge as a background. Its sombre green sets you off to perfection." He went away chuckling. He felt that Margaret must think him a devil of a fellow. She didn't, though. "The _idea_ of his suspecting me of such unconscionable vanity!" she said, properly offended. Then, "Anyhow, a man has no business to know about such things," she continued, with rising indignation. "I believe Felix Kennaston is as good a judge of chiffons as any woman. That's effeminate, I think, and catty and absurd. I don't believe I ever liked him--not really, that is. NED SADLY AND SHOOK HIS HEAD BUT I PREFER KATHLEEN AND I AM QUITE CERTAIN THAT SOMEBODY WILL ASK WHERE YOU ARE I SHALL DESCRIBE TO HIM THE EXACT SPOT MISTER CADASTON PAUSED WITH A SLIGHT AIR OF APOLOGY IF I WERE YOU HE SUGGESTED PLEASANTLY I WOULD MOVE A LITTLE JUST A LITTLE TO THE LEFT THAT WOULD ENABLE YOU TO OBTAIN TO A FULLER EXTENT THE BENEFIT OF THE SUNBEAM WHICH IS FALLING QUITE BY ACCIDENT OF COURSE UPON YOUR HAIR YOU ARE PERFECTLY RIGHT MARGARET IN SELECTING THAT HEDGE AS A BACKGROUND ITS SOMBRE GREEN SETS YOU OFF TO PERFECTION HE WENT AWAY CHUCKLING HE FELT THAT MARGARET MUST THINK HIM A DEVIL OF A FELLOW SHE DIDN'T THOUGH THE IDEA OF HIS SUSPECTING ME OF SUCH UNCONSCIONABLE VANITY SHE SAID PROPERLY OFFENDED AND THEN ANYHOW A MAN HAS NO BUSINESS TO KNOW ABOUT SUCH THINGS SHE CONTINUED WITH RISING INDIGNATION I BELIEVE FELIX CANNASTON IS AS GOOD A JUDGE OF CHIFFON'S AS ANY WOMAN THAT'S EFFEMINATE I THINK AND CADDIE AND ABSURD I DON'T BELIEVE I EVER LIKED HIM NOT REALLY THAT IS
