Excerpt from Dare "Hurry, " Mrs. Brent exclaimed, "I cannot wait. We have only a week, and four girls to prepare for - " "The sacrifice, " Dare interrupted. "Do leave me out, and reduce your trials to three." "How ridiculous in you, " Deb replied. "You must go. There shall be no lessening of our phalanx, except by marriage. Here we are, Brents from eighteen to twenty-three. We ought to be labeled." "Like mixtures of quinine, I suppose. 'When taken to be well shaken.' When we follow Mater in stately grandeur, with Jack bringing up the rear, I always feel as if we were an advertisement to a show. Come up, gentlemen, and take your choice: Deb only is marked reserved." They entered the garret, where even the "picturesqueness of dirt" was foregone, Dare used to say, with a sigh. Every corner in Mrs. Brent's house was immaculate, every object, except Dare's fingers, which were generally adorned with chrome-yellow, crimson-lake, or Prussian blue, and sometimes all combined, producing, at times, quite Turner-esque effects.
