"Oh, notions," and Mrs. Berry laughed, "well, it's thinking you know
it all yourself, and not being willing to listen to advice. I don't
believe you have notions, Dolly."

"No, she hasn't," said Bernice. "But Dotty and I have! However, I
promised Dad I'd obey you, Mrs. Berry, in everything you say, so I
don't believe you'll have any trouble with us."

"Land, no! I don't expect any. Now, let me see; I've two big rooms for
you all, with two beds in each. I suppose you'll room with your
cousin, Bernice, and these other two girls together?"

"Yes, indeed," said Dolly, quickly, for she had no idea of rooming
with any one but Dotty.

"That settles itself, then."

"But suppose I don't like Alicia," said Bernice, doubtfully. "Suppose
we quarrel."

"All right," and Mrs. Berry nodded her head, "there are other rooms. I
don't want you to be uncomfortable in any particular. I thought you'd
like it better that way. The two rooms I've fixed for you, are two big
ones on the second floor. Mine is on the same floor, in the rear. Your
uncle's rooms are upon the third floor,"

"I think it sounds fine," declared Bernice, "and I'm sure I'll get on
with Alicia, if she does have 'notions.'"
