Not that it would have done any good, probably, if she had.
It might have been better for them all, though, if Kitty had been more suspicious and alert, for she might then have seen what was happening, and perhaps have avoided the catastrophe to which they were all hastening.

But, of course, if you have no suspicions of people, you cannot be on your guard against something that you do not know exists; and Kitty suspected nothing, not even when Betty came home one day with an unpleasant tale of foolishness to tell.
"I won't walk home with Anna any more," she cried hotly.

"She asks me to go with her, and then tries to get rid of me.

I know why she wanted to, though: she had a letter to post and didn't want me to see it.
I suppose," indignantly, "she thought I would try to read the address, or would sneak about it!" "You must have made a mistake," said Kitty.

"It is too silly to think she should want to get rid of you while she posted a letter.
Why shouldn't she post one?
I don't see anything in it." "Well, _I_ do," said Betty solemnly.
