Miss Juliana and the godly Merle in the front seat had very definitely drawn aloof from the outcasts.

They chatted on matters at large in the most polite and social manner.

They quite appeared to have forgotten that their equipage might attract the notice of the vulgar.
When from time to time it actually did this the girl held her head brazenly erect and shot back stare for stare, but the Wilbur twin bowed low and suffered.
Sometimes it would merely be astounded adults who paused to regard them, to point canes or fingers at them.

But again it would be the young who had never been disciplined to restrain their emotions in public.

Some of these ran for a time beside the cart, with glad cries, their clear, ringing voices raised in comments of a professedly humorous character.
Under Juliana's direction the cart did not progress too rapidly.
