to him--had not possessed that attraction.
"Last year," said Miss Pierce, "when Watts was here, we had a golden-rod
party. We had the whole house decked with it, and yellow lamps on the

"He told me about it," said Peter.
"He really was the soul of it," said Miss Pierce, "He wove himself a
belt and chaplet of it and wore it all through the evening. He was so
good-looking!"
Peter, quite unconscious that he had said anything, actually continued:
"He was voted the handsomest man of the class."
"Was he really? How nice!" said Miss Pierce.
"Yes," said Peter. "And it was true." Peter failed to notice that a
question had been asked, or that he had answered it.
