But you understand if you agree to let
Nan Graham stay in camp with us, I can't let her be an expense to you or
the other girls."
By way of answer Betty looked at her watch. "It is getting pretty late,
Polly, don't you think we had better get back to camp?" she proposed.
In perfect accord the two girls now swept their canoe back to their
landing place, for they could row perfectly together, swim, paddle a
canoe, ride, play tennis, in fact do everything except have the same
opinions.
The two girls carried the basket of fish, leaving Mollie to tie up the
canoe.
"I hope you don't feel very disappointed, Polly, it was because I was
afraid you might think it a good idea to have Nan Graham join our Camp
Fire club that I asked you not to think of it last night," Betty said,
apologetically, sorry as always to disappoint her friend and not
unaffected by her point of view.
"Ah, but you put it in my head, Betty Ashton. Really I never dreamed at
first of letting Nan do anything more than come and see what our Camp
Fire life was like. She was so eager and so interested when I met her
yesterday that she seemed kind of pitiful to me. She told me she was
dreadfully lonely because nice girls wouldn't have anything more to do
with her now and yet she didn't want really to be bad.
