one am
`` There are the Singletons , '' said Laura quickly . `` Mr. Singleton came over this afternoon with two of the girls , the two eldest ones ; their names are Maud and Alice , and they told us a lot about Irene . They seem to have a perfect horror of her . They are awfully nice girls , and we are to go there on Wednesday afternoon , and I for one am looking forward to it . But , Rosamond , it is extraordinary that you should take up with her . They told us an awful story about how Irene treated their dear governess , Miss Carter . They would n't tell us quite all , but they said that , for their parts , nothing would induce them to go to The Follies , although they had been asked ever so often .
