Now tell me why you came." "I came," said Linda, "because I started something and am afraid of the possible result.

I think very likely if, in retaliation for what Donald said to me about my hair and my shoes, I had not twitted him about the use he was making of his brain and done everything in my power to drive him into competition with Oka Sayye in the hope that a white man would graduate with the highest honors, he would not have gone into this competition, which I am now certain has antagonized Oka Sayye." Linda folded her slim hands on the table and leaned forward.
"Judge Whiting," she said earnestly, "I know very little about men.

The most I know was what I learned about my father and the men with whom he occasionally hunted and fished.

They were all such fine men that I must have grown up thinking that every man was very like them, but one day I came in direct contact with the Jap that Donald is trying to beat, and the thing I saw in his face put fear into my heart and it has been there ever since.

I have almost an unreasoning fear of that Jap, not because he has said anything or done anything.
