Millicent 's Double -LSB- Illustration : '' ` NONSENSE , ' SAID MILLICENT , POINTING TO THEIR REFLECTED FACES '' -RSB- When Millicent Moore and Worth Gordon met each other on the first day of the term in the entrance hall of the Kinglake High School , both girls stopped short , startled . Millicent Moore had never seen Worth Gordon before , but Worth Gordon 's face she had seen every day of her life , looking at her out of her own mirror ! They were total strangers , but when two girls look enough alike to be twins , it is not necessary to stand on ceremony . After the first blank stare of amazement , both laughed outright . Millicent held out her hand . `` We ought to know each other right away , '' she said frankly . `` My name is Millicent Moore , and yours is -- ? '' `` Worth Gordon , '' responded Worth , taking the proffered hand with dancing eyes . `` You actually frightened me when you came around that corner . For a moment I had an uncanny feeling that I was a disembodied spirit looking at my own outward shape . I know now what it feels like to have a twin . '' `` Is n't it odd that we should look so much alike ? '' said Millicent . `` Do you suppose we can be any relation ? I never heard of any relations named Gordon . '' Worth shook her head . `` I 'm quite sure we 're not , '' she said . `` I have n't any relatives except my father 's stepsister with whom I 've lived ever since the death of my parents when I was a baby . '' `` Well , you 'll really have to count me as a relative after this , '' laughed Millicent . `` I 'm sure a girl who looks as much like you as I do must be at least as much relation as a stepaunt . ''
From XXXXX moment they were firm friends , and their friendship was still further cemented by the fact that Worth found it necessary to change her boarding-house and became Millicent 's roommate .
