That reminds me of what I wanted to say
"That reminds me of what I wanted to say. If you’ll believe me, my dear, Steve has got that very idea into his head! Did you or Mac put it there?" asked Kitty, industriously clashing her shears.
"No, I’ve given up lecturing the boys lately they are so big now they don’t like it, and I fancy I’d got into a way that was rather tiresome."
"Well, then, he is ‘turning pious’ too. And what is very singular, I like it. Now don’t smile I really do and I want to be getting ready for the ‘serious part of life,’ as you call it. That is, I want to grow better as fast as I can, for Steve says he isn’t half good enough for me. Just think of that!"
Kitty looked so surprised and pleased and proud that Rose felt no desire to laugh at her sudden fancy for sobriety but said in her most sympathetic tone: "I’m very glad to hear it, for it shows that he loves you in the right way."
"Is there more than one way?"
"Yes, I fancy so, because some people improve so much after they fall in love, and others do not at all. Have you never observed that?"
"I never learned how to observe. Of course I know that some matches turn out well and some don’t, but I never thought much about it."
"Well, I have, for I was rather interested in the subject lately and had a talk with Aunt Jessie and Uncle about it."
"Gracious! You don’t talk to them about such things, do you?"
