She tapped her kodak lovingly, as it hung from the strap on her shoulder. "I wish I'd brought mine," said Adela. "Why didn't you?" cried Polly, whirling around to scan Adela. "I forgot it," said Adela. "I put it on the table last night close to my hat and gloves, and then walked off this morning without it." "Now that's too bad!" exclaimed Polly in sympathy. Then she turned back uncomfortably, and began to talk of something else. "I'm not going to," she said to herself; "it isn't my fault she forgot her kodak, and I want every one of my films myself. And I care a great deal more for Marken than for almost any other place."
