Of course he did it to spite Daffydowndilly, but I'm not a bit 'spited. I feel as though I ought to go to the girl in the case and tell her what I know about him. But it's useless to think of doing so." Arline devoted further space to affectionate inquiry regarding Grace's troubles and ended with the naïve announcement: "The other day I met a perfectly delightful young man at a dinner dance.
This girl she was named Arline Bertrand was a native of Montreal, and at this time about twenty-four years of age and rather good-looking. Bending over her mistress she would say: "Ah, Madame, Monsieur Fairfield he come back riche, riche, with plentee nice thing for you!" A few weeks after the vessel's departure Mrs.
It seems such a shame that mid-years had to come skulking along on the very heels of Christmas, doesn't it?" Arline nodded. "I haven't looked at my French for to-morrow, either," she confessed, "and I've been saying 'not prepared' for the last two recitations.
Arline, Anne and Ruth had at the last moment decided to attend an illustrated lecture on Paris, to be held in the Overton Theatre that afternoon, with the gleeful prospect of cooking their supper at Ruth's that evening, an occasion invariably attended with at least one laughable mishap, as neither Arline's nor Anne's knowledge of cooking extended beyond the art of boiling water.
She has such wonderful golden hair, and her brown eyes are in such striking contrast to her hair and fair complexion. She is awfully popular, I suppose." "Yes, the Morton House girls are all rushing her. I was surprised to think she accepted my invitation," returned Arline. "I don't think that was so very surprising," declared Grace bluntly.

The friendship between Defendant Number One," Grace bowed to Arline, "and Defendant Number Two," she made a second bow to Ruth, "received a blow on the head which rendered it unconscious for some time. It had no intention of dying, but both prisoners treated it with extreme cruelty, not allowing it to hold up its poor crippled head.
Ted Slavin seldom knew how to bridle that tongue of his; and Ward Kenwood seemed to be in a nasty humor himself. To tell the truth there had long been a sort of rivalry between Paul and Ward over the smiles of pretty Arline Blair; and latterly the high school girl seemed to be giving young Morrison more than his share of her company.
"Goose!" scoffed Grace. "Of course they would. How could any one help liking you? To change the subject, when shall we call a meeting of the bazaar specialists? We might as well post a notice on the big bulletin board. It will do more to advertise the bazaar than anything else." "Grace, you are a born advertiser," cried Arline. "There will be a crowd around that bulletin board all day.
Meanwhile, Gertrude Wells had engaged Arline in conversation, and Ruth's name was not mentioned again. "This is positively my last appearance this afternoon as a decorator," declared Emma Dean. "I'm going home to beautify myself for the great moment when I shall stand in line with my sophomore sisters to greet the infant freshmen."
