Please do n't consider me as a stranger a minute longer , for Max and I are like brothers . Indeed , I owe my life to him . Last summer I was out there on a surveying expedition , and I took typhoid in a little out-of-the-way place where good nursing was not to be had for love or money . Your brother attended me and he managed to pull me through . He never left me day or night until I was out of danger , and he worked like a Trojan for me . '' `` Dear old Max , '' said Grace , her brown eyes shining with pride and pleasure . `` That is so like him . He is such a dear brother and I have n't seen him for four years . To see somebody who knows him so well is next best thing to seeing himself . '' `` He is an awfully fine fellow , '' said Mr. Hill heartily , `` and I 'm delighted to have met the ` little sister ' he used to talk so much about . I want you to come ever and meet my mother and sister . They have heard me talk so much about Max that they think almost as much of him as I do , and they will be glad to meet his sister . '' Mrs. Hill , a handsome , dignified lady who was one of the chaperones of the prom , received Grace warmly , while Beatrice Hill , an extremely pretty , smartly gowned girl , made her feel at home immediately . `` You came with Sid , did n't you ? '' she whispered . `` Sid is so sly -- he never tells us whom he is going to take anywhere . But when I saw you come in with him I knew I was going to like you , you looked so jolly . And you 're really the sister of that splendid Dr. Seeley who saved Murray 's life last summer ? And to think you 've been at Payzant nearly a whole term and we never knew it ! '' `` Well , how have you enjoyed our prom , Miss Seeley ? ''
asked Sid , XXXXX they walked home together under the arching elms of the college campus .
