Of course you're not FAT, Maggie darling, but
it's your figure--everything's either too long or too short for you.
You don't mind my speaking so frankly, do you? I always say one's
either a friend or not, and if one's a friend why then be as rude as
you please. What's friendship for?"
They were, in fact, the greatest possible friends. Maggie had never
possessed a girl-friend before. She had, in the first days of the
acquaintance, been shy and very silent--she had been afraid of going
too far. But soon she had seen that she could not go too far and
could not say too much. She had discovered then a multitude of new
happinesses.
There was nothing, she found, too small, too unimportant to claim
Caroline's interest. Caroline wished to know everything, and soon
Maggie disclosed to her many things that she had told to no other
human being in her life before. It could not honestly be said that
Caroline had many wise comments to make on Maggie's experiences. Her
attitude was one of surprised excitement. She was amazed by the most
ordinary incidents and conversations. She found Maggie's life quite
incredible.
