Almost everybody here is on the Wanderers ' side , because they are Haligonians , but I am not . I like the college boys best . Beatrix says that it is just because of my innate contrariness . Last year I simply screamed myself hoarse with enthusiasm . The Dalhousie team won the trophy . '' `` If you are so interested in the game , it is a wonder you did n't go to see it yourself , '' said the Young Man boldly . `` Well , I just could n't , '' said the Girl with a sigh . `` If anybody had ever told me that there would be a football game in Halifax , and that I would elect to prowl about by myself in the park instead of going to it , I 'd have laughed them to scorn . Even Beatrix would never have dared to prophesy that . But you see it has happened . I was too crumpled up in my mind to care about football today . I had to come here and have it out with myself . That is why I put on my hat . I thought , perhaps , I might get through with my mental gymnastics in time to go to the game afterwards . But I did n't . It is just maddening , too . I got this hat and dress on purpose to wear to it . They 're black and yellow , you see -- the Dalhousie colours . It was my own idea . I was sure it would make a sensation .
But I could n't go to the XXXXX and take any interest in it , feeling as I do , could I , now ? ''
