So at the end of the term I was on hand to help Dickie pack his trunk, meaning to save him, by hook or crook, from his precocious entanglement. I should try reason first, then ridicule, and, lastly, I would plead with him, as humbly as I might, to forget.
This program I did not carry out.

"Met her at the Junior hop," said Dickie. "She's a queen, all right.
"
"Indeed!" Then I added, anxiously: "And what of Rosie?"
"Rosie?" Could this blankness on Dickie's face be genuine? "What Rosie?"
"Why, the one who gave you the cherries."
"Oh, _that_ one!" Dickie laughed lightly. "Why, that's all off long ago, you know.
