REDDY ARMSTRONG'S REFORMATION
a great pair to look at. About the campus Reddy wore a dead-grass colored corduroy suit and a blue sweater. Runt dressed in creamy corduroys and a crimson sweater, which went well with his black hair, which was curly. He had good taste about a number of things, though he hoped to get over it in time.
Both of them were short, and they always walked to recitations with arms closely entwined about each other's shoulders, their faces wearing a demure and studious expression, as if they had spent the previous hour in hard poling upon the bright new books under their other arms, instead of scrapping on the sofa, and calling each other names. When you said hello to them, they smiled all over their faces.
They were seldom seen apart. If one appeared on the campus without the other, he was asked, "Where's Runt, Red?" or, "Where's Red, Runt?" They decided to elect the same studies to avoid answering this question so often.
Their rooms were next door to each other.
