"Because I intend to be friends, you know," said Mr. Woods. And about them the maple leaves made a little island of sombre green, around which more vivid grasses rippled and dimpled under the fitful spring breezes.

His insolence was so surprising that--in order to recover herself--Margaret actually sat down under the maple-tree. Peggy, indeed! Why, she hadn't been called Peggy for--no, not for four whole years!
