A historical novel from the author of "The King in Yellow".
P"I wonder," mused Geraldine, "if there is anything the matter with us, Scott?"
P
"Why?"
P
"Oh -- I don't know. People stare at us so -- nurses always watch us and begin to whisper as soon as we come along. Do you know what a boy said to me once when I skated very far ahead of Kathleen?"
P
"What did he say?" inquired Scott, flattening his nose against the window-pane to see whether it still hurt him.
P
"He asked me if I were too rich and proud to play with other children. I was so surprised; and I said that we were not rich at all, and that I never had had any money, and that I was not a bit proud, and would love to stay and play with him if Kathleen permitted me."
P
"Did Kathleen let you? Of course she didn't."
P
"I told her what the boy said and I showed her the boy, but she wouldn't let me stay and play."
P
"Kathleen's a pig."
P
"No, she isn't, poor dear. They make her act that way -- Mr. Tappan makes her. Our grandfather didn't want us to have friends."
P
"I'll tell you what," said Scott impatiently, "when I'm old enough, I'll have other boys to play with whether Kathleen and -- and that Thing -- likes it or not."
P
The Thing was the Half Moon Trust Company.
