Seen together there were , of course , many minor differences which served to distinguish them . Both girls were slight , with dark-brown hair , blue eyes and fair complexions . But Millicent had more colour than Worth . Even in repose , Millicent 's face expressed mirth and fun ; when Worth was not laughing or talking , her face was rather serious . Worth 's eyes were darker , and her nose in profile slightly more aquiline . But still , the resemblance between them was very striking . In disposition they were also very similar . Both were merry , fun-loving girls , fond of larks and jokes . Millicent was the more heedless , but both were impulsive and too apt to do or say anything that came into their heads without counting the cost . One late October evening Millicent came in , her cheeks crimson after her walk in the keen autumn air , and tossed two letters on the study table . `` It 's a perfect evening , Worth . We had the jolliest tramp . You should have come with us instead of staying in moping over your books . '' Worth smiled ruefully . `` I simply had to prepare those problems for tomorrow , '' she said . `` You see , Millie dear , there is a big difference between us in some things at least . I 'm poor . I simply have to pass my exams and get a teacher 's licence . So I ca n't afford to take any chances . You 're just attending high school for the sake of education alone , so you do n't really have to grind as I do . ''
`` I 'd like to do pretty well in the exams , though , XXXXX Dad 's sake , '' answered Millicent , throwing aside her wraps .
