'' `` We wanted to make you jealous , '' I said . `` I put Jacky up to it . '' `` I did n't think it was in either of you to do such a thing , '' said Dick reproachfully . `` Oh , Dick , '' I cried -- fancy my calling him Dick right to his face ! Jacky will never believe I really did it . He says I would never have dared . But it was n't daring at all , it was just forgetting . `` Oh , Dick , we did n't mean any harm .

Do n't cry , sweetheart . ''
