Now, Arline, I'll leave her in your hands.
We wouldn't have her go to Oakdale with us if she begged on her knees to do so," concluded Grace.
"Grace Harlowe, you're a dear!" exclaimed Arline, catching Grace's hand in both of her warm little palms.

"I just love you.

Next to Ruth, I think you are the nicest girl at Overton.

Thank you a thousand times for being so nice over Ruth.

Now, you simply must go," she announced, turning to Ruth.
"I will," answered Ruth happily.
