Worth 's eyes were darker , and her nose in profile slightly more aquiline . But still , the resemblance between them was very striking . In disposition they were also very similar . Both were merry , fun-loving girls , fond of larks and jokes . Millicent was the more heedless , but both were impulsive and too apt to do or say anything that came into their heads without counting the cost . One late October evening Millicent came in , her cheeks crimson after her walk in the keen autumn air , and tossed two letters on the study table . `` It 's a perfect evening , Worth . We had the jolliest tramp . You should have come with us instead of staying in moping over your books . '' Worth smiled ruefully . `` I simply had to prepare those problems for tomorrow , '' she said . `` You see , Millie dear , there is a big difference between us in some things at least . I 'm poor . I simply have to pass my exams and get a teacher 's licence . So I ca n't afford to take any chances . You 're just attending high school for the sake of education alone , so you do n't really have to grind as I do . '' `` I 'd like to do pretty well in the exams , though , for Dad 's sake , '' answered Millicent , throwing aside her wraps . `` But I do n't mean to kill myself studying , just the same . Time enough for that when exams draw nigh . They 're comfortably far off yet .
But I 'm in a bit of a predicament , XXXXX , and I do n't know what to do .
