Answer 6

Herb Dalton approached Millicent as she was getting an ice cream at the lunch counter that noon. She saw him coming before he spoke to her, and looked down quickly, thinking: He is too princely, too dark and smiling. And I am much too vulnerable. Why must he be the one I have to be careful of?

I won’t say anything, she thought, I’ll just smile very sweetly.

She smiled up at Herb very sweetly and mutely. His return grin was rather miraculous. It was surely more than was called for in the line of duty.

“I know you can’t talk to me,” he said, very low. “But you’re doing fine, the girls say. I even like your hair straight and all.”

Bev was coming toward them, then, her red mouth set in a bright calculating smile. She ignored Millicent and sailed up to Herb.

“Why waste your time with gophers?” she caroled gaily. “Their tongues are tied, but completely.”

Herb managed a parting shot. “But that one keeps such an attractive silence.”

That's the excerpt.

Answer 8

I'd say D Herb isn't plotting to trick Millicent because you can kinda tell that they like each other, and that Bev was rude and told him not to. But it didn't say anything about Herb and Bev planning to trick her.
