But this Shirley girl surely needs some sort of treatment. Her week of dusting Dozia's room is up today. I hope the lesson brought down her hoity-toity a peg or two.

Something very exciting must have happened." "Jane!
"Now, have you got everything?" the landlady called from the pier. "Oh, everything everything in the world!" Guthrie shouted, in reply. "Where's your waterproof, Lily?" screeched the step-mother.
