Gradually, and very faintly, Bessie began to have a glimmering of what was wrong with her friend. She found it hard work not to smile, or even to laugh
outright, but she resisted the temptation nobly, for she knew only too well that to
Dolly, sensitive and nervous, laughter would be just the one thing needed to
make it harder than ever to patch up this senseless and silly quarrel, which, so far,
was only one sided
To Bessie, who thought little of boys, and to whom jealousy was alien, the idea
that Dolly was really jealous of her seemed absurd, since she knew how little
cause there was for such a feeling. But, very wisely, she determined to proceed
slowly, and not to do anything that could possibly give Dolly any fresh cause of
offence
Which selection from this text, an excerpt from The Campfire Girls at
Long Lake, by Jane L Stewart, best demonstrates how her use of the
third-person limited point of view helps develop the idea that Bessie
doesn't relate to Dolly's feelings?
