"But I can't help thinking," Betty reflected, "that she wouldn't like this. Dr. Eaton must have offended her in some way that he doesn't know about--though it isn't like Ethel to harbor a grudge. He evidently doesn't suspect how she feels--or yes--maybe that was why he was so embarrassed when he found that she was with us. Oh, dear! it's all awfully complicated. But it's a great deal too hot down here to argue about it with Mary Brooks, so I shall just let them get all the fun they can out of thinking the other way--as long as they don't bother Ethel."
