y Stone whispered to Ruth: "Isn't that Gregg
girl the most discontented looking thing you ever saw? Her face would sour
cream right now! I hope she doesn't overlook my supper and give me
indigestion."
"Behave!" was Ruth's only comment.

Ruth.
"Say! we have a dense one at this very table," hissed Heavy, a hand beside
her mouth so that the sound of her whisper would not travel to the head
