A QUESTION OF CONTRACTS "HELLO, Folks!" cried Kate, waving her hand to the occupants of the veranda as she went up the walk.

"Glad to find you at home." "That is where you will always find me unless I am forced away on business," said her brother as they shook hands.
Agatha was pleased with this, and stiff as steel, she bent the length of her body toward Kate and gave her a tight-lipped little peck on the cheek.
"I came over, as soon as I could," said Kate as she took the chair her brother offered, "to thank you for the big thing you did for me, Agatha, when you lent me that money.

If I had known where I was going, or the help it would be to me, I should have gone if I'd had to walk and work for my board.

Why, I feel so sure of myself! I've learned so much that I'm like the girl fresh from boarding school: 'The only wonder is that one small head can contain it all.' Thank you over and over and I've got a good school, so I can pay you back the very first month, I think.

If there are things I must have, I can pay part the first month and the remainder the second.
