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 Cameron did more than smile . She laughed outright and went over to the fence where Pauline was sitting on a stump . She looked down into the merry black eyes of the town girl she had been half envying for a week and said humorously : `` Yes , I think you very likely , indeed . But it takes two to make a friendship -- like a bargain . If I 'm one , you 'll have to be the other . '' `` I 'm the other . Shake , '' said Pauline , holding out her hand . That was the beginning of a friendship that made poor Mrs. Wallace groan outwardly as well as inwardly . Pauline and Ada found that they liked each other even more than they had expected to . They walked , rowed , berried and picnicked together . Ada did not go to Mrs. Boyd 's a great deal , for some instinct told her that Mrs. Wallace did not look favourably on her , but Pauline spent half her time at the little , brown , orchard-embowered house at the end of the beech lane where the Embrees lived . She had never met any girl she thought so nice as Ada . `` She is nice every way , '' she told the unconvinced Aunt Olivia . `` She 's clever and well read . She is sensible and frank .
She has a sense XXXXX humour and a great deal of insight into character -- witness her liking for your niece !
