Mrs. Embree is her father 's half-sister . '' `` Is she as nice as she looks ? '' `` Yes , Ada 's a real nice sensible girl , '' said Mrs. Boyd . `` There is no nonsense about her . '' `` That does n't sound very encouraging , '' murmured Pauline , as Mrs. Boyd went out . `` I like people with a little nonsense about them . But I hope better things of Ada , Mrs. Boyd to the contrary notwithstanding . She has a pair of grey eyes that ca n't possibly always look sensible . I think they must mellow occasionally into fun and jollity and wholesome nonsense . Well , I 'm off to the shore . I want to get that photograph of the Cove this evening , if possible . I 've set my heart on taking first prize at the Amateur Photographers ' Exhibition this fall , and if I can only get that Cove with all its beautiful lights and shadows , it will be the gem of my collection . '' Pauline , on her return from the shore , reached the beech lane just as the Embree cows were swinging down it . Behind them came a tall , brown-haired , brown-faced girl in a neat print dress . Her hat was hung over her arm , and the low evening sunlight shone redly over her smooth glossy head . She carried herself with a pretty dignity , but when her eyes met Pauline 's , she looked as if she would smile on the slightest provocation . Pauline promptly gave her the provocation . `` Good evening , Miss Cameron , '' she called blithely . `` Wo n't you please stop a few moments and look me over ? I want to see if you think me a likely person for a summer chum . ''
Ada XXXXX did more than smile .
