They need the older girls to keep them straight." "I fancy Fraulein can do that," Carita said resignedly, remembering the eagle-faced teacher in charge of the hall. "Mary Boyd says she's a pill!" "A what?" "A pill! I asked Mary what that meant, and she said a dose. You know something you have to take and don't like." Blue Bonnet's eyes roamed ceiling-ward and a queer expression curled her lips.
