Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Crimson Jane Doring sat in her room busily studying French, for the quiz next day, when in popped Betty Mallow. "Hello, Betty!" she cried, "have you studied for that test tomorrow?" "No," was the reply, "I don't care if I flunk or not. I'm going to fix up a pony if I don't find time to cram. You know Peg Armour is going to visit me; but then I don't suppose she will come to see you because she doesn't like you very well." Jane knew this, but she did not like to be reminded of it. A hard lump mysteriously appeared in her throat, but she quickly swallowed it, and answered calmly. "Well, I always liked her, and maybe if I treat her kindly I can make her learn to love me, too." "I don't think so," was Betty's hasty reply, "she isn't of that disposition at all; in fact, she will never be a friend to you." Both girls felt a little jealousy in their young hearts, and Betty hurriedly arose to go to her room. Jane felt ashamed and humiliated, and quickly called back her friend. "Listen Betty," she said, "let's have a party at Aunt Jane's. She said I might have one anytime I wished, and she has a perfect dream of a house. Over at Lakeside, you know." "All right; and have it this week while Peg is here," suggested the other with animation. After much arguing and planning the date was set for Saturday. "And whom shall we invite?" "Well," said Betty, "I think, Peg and Jack and you and Bill (of course), and Marjory and Bob. and Helen and Arthur.
