What do you think of _that_?
"And now some of the passengers on that train, who saw the brave deed,
have applied for and obtained a medal for bravery which has been brought
here by a committee, and is to be presented to our Nan. You dear girl!"
cried Mrs. Mason, kissing her heartily. "_What are you crying for_?"
CHAPTER XXI
LONG TO BE REMEMBERED
There were lights and music and flowers all about the big reception
rooms, and a number of ladies and gentlemen were present besides the
committee that had brought the medal for Nan. This was no time to retail
such gossip as Linda Riggs had brought to her ears, and Miss Hagford, the
governess, did not take her employer into her confidence at that time.
Besides, Nan was suddenly made the heroine of the hour.
If she had felt like running away as the party of young people returned
to the Mason house from the moving picture show, Nan was more than
desirous of escape now. The situation was doubly embarrassing after Linda
Riggs' cruel accusation; for Nan had the feeling that some, at least, of
these strange girls and boys must believe Linda's words true.
Nan knew that, all the way from the picture show, Linda had been eagerly
giving her version of the difficulties that had risen between them since
she and Nan had first met on the train going to Lakeview Hall.
