"The chapter about Betty's drowning is the worst of all," declared Bob, "and it ought to be the best. It seemed exciting enough at the time, but when you think it over there's nothing to it. Betty ought to have been out in water over her head, and Dr. Eaton ought to have sunk once or twice trying to bring her in, and really risked his life to save her. Then it would sound like something, and there would be some reason in the silly way you made the heroine act afterward."
