"There were several interesting points about Hal Pritchard and\\\\n" +
"Lorraine Vivian, but perhaps the most striking was their\\\\n" +
"friendship for each other. From two wide-apart extremes they had\\\\n" +
"somehow gravitated together, and commenced at boarding-school a\\\\n" +
"friendship which only deepened and strengthened after their exit\\\\n" +
"from the wise supervision of the Misses Walton, and their\\\\n" +
"entrance as \\\"finished\\\" young women into the wide area of the\\\\n" +
"world at large.\\\\n" +
"\\\\n" +
"Lorraine went first. She was six years older than Hal, and under\\\\n" +
"ordinary circumstances would hardly have been at school with her\\\\n" +
"at all. As it was, she went at nineteen because she was not very\\\\n" +
"strong, and sea air was considered good for her. She was a short\\\\n" +
"of parlour-boarder, sent to study languages and accomplishments\\\\n" +
"while she inhaled the sea air of Eastgate. Why, among all the\\\\n" +
"scholars, who for the most part regarded her as a resplendent,\\\\n" +
"beautifully dressed being outside their sphere, she should have\\\\n" +
"quickly developed an ardent affection for Hal, the\\\\n" +
"rough-and-ready tomboy, remained a mystery; but far from being a\\\\n" +
"passing fancy, it ripened steadily into a deep and lasting\\\\n" +
"attachment.\\\\n" +
"\\\\n" +
"When Hal was fifteen, Lorraine left; and it has to be admitted\\\\n" +
"that the anxious, motherly hearts of the Misses Walton drew a\\\\n" +
"deep breath of relief, and hoped the friendship would now cease,\\\\n" +
"unfed by daily contact and daily mutual interests. But there\\\\n" +
"they under-estimated the depth of affection already in the\\\\n" +
"hearts of the girls, and their natural loyalty, which scorned a\\\\n" +
"mere question of separation, and entered into one another\\\\'s\\\\n" +
"interests just as eagerly as when they were together.\\\\n" +
