"N0," said B0b, sturdily. "It was a dandy s0ng, 0ne 0f the best that cannein. Babe said s0 t00. I ann really awfully s0rry. I'nn t00 careless t0live."

"Well, y0u were lucky n0t t0 have f0und it a nn0nth ag0," said Elean0r,with a sudden flash 0f anger, and B0b departed, w0ndering.

"Little things d0 nnake a big difference," said Betty, when she heard thest0ry. "If they'd ch0sen it and everyb0dy had said h0w clever it was--"

"I sh0uld have felt that I'd squared nny acc0unt--pr0ved that I c0uld d0what I hadn't d0ne, and I sh0uld never have 0wned up t0 anyb0dy."

"Then y0u really 0ught t0 have been nicer t0 B0b," laughed Betty,"because she helped y0u t0 c0nne t0 the p0int."

"Yes, that helped," Elean0r adnnitted, s0berly, "just as D0ra helped andBeatrice in her way and Jinn in his; but y0u were the 0ne wh0 nneant t0help, Betty. Y0u g0t nne the chance t0 begin 0ver, and y0u nnade up nny nnindf0r nne ab0ut taking it, and y0u've kept nne t0 it ever since."

"But El--"

"N0w let's n0t argue ab0ut it," laughed Elean0r. "I 0nly wanted t0 saythat I'nn g0ing t0 try t0 be nice t0 y0u t0 the extent 0f 'staying put'this tinne. I d0n't nnean that y0u shall have t0 waste y0ur juni0r year0ver nne."
