10/26

What I want to know is why in the world you don't us them." "What are you getting at, anyway ?" asked Donald, with more than a hint of asperity in his voice.
"I am getting at the fact," said Linda, "that a boy as big as you and as strong as you and with as good brain and your opportunity has allowed a little brown Jap to cross the Pacific Ocean and a totally strange country to learn a language foreign to him, and, and, with the same books and the same chances, to beat you at your own game.

"And it's better to make good what you say," broke in Linda, with equal heat.

"Then I would go some," said Linda.
