Nyoda always wanted me to do it some time, and I promised her I would if I got a chance." "We'd better ask Aunt Clara about it first," said Hinpoha.
She is the guilty one, all right," and in sore distress Nyoda left him. The axe fell and Hinpoha was expelled from school. If lightning had fallen on a clear day and cleft the roof open, the pupils could not have been more dumbfounded. Hinpoha was the very last one any one would have suspected of cutting wires. In fact, many were openly incredulous. But Mr.
It is not my intention to dwell on the unpleasant features of our trip any more than I have to. But somehow that night stands out more clearly in my memory than any of the other events. Nyoda says it is because I am gifted, or rather cursed, with a constructive imagination, and see and hear things that aren't there.
Even Nyoda, who was a "faculty," and should have been the ally of the deluded instructor, was too much amused to say a word. "By the way, Sahwah," she said when the laughter had died down, "how are you coming on in Latin? The last time I saw you your Cicero had a strangle hold on you."
It was from the Carrie Wentworth Inn and was dated midnight of the night before. It read: "Wire from party you want says address Forty-three Main Street Rochester Indiana." That wire threw them into great perplexity. What were Nyoda and the girls doing in Rochester, when they had been on the road to Chicago two days before? "The Glow-worm is more like a flea than a glow-worm," said Hinpoha.
It's easy enough to guess what they are doing." "Well, anyway, they know why we were delayed," said Chapa. "You got a second wire off to Nyoda before the storm?" "Yes," said Gladys, "I sent it right after I wired for money." Hinpoha sat silent for a long time. "A penny for your thoughts," said Gladys. "I can't help thinking about the scarf," said Hinpoha.
Nyoda dropped it into the pile of fagots and the ceremonial fire was kindled, while the Winnebagos sprang to their feet, ready to sing, "Burn, fire, burn." When that had been sung the Winnebagos still remained on their feet.
"They'll worry when they see we're not coming." "Let them worry," said Sahwah, darkly. "It serves them right for what they did to us." But, of course, we had to let them know. So Nyoda wired the little hotel where we had planned to stay and what a good time we were going to have! and told the girls to stay there for the night and to please wait for us in the morning and not leave us again.
"No one knows that my real name isn't Lehar, outside of my uncle's family, and you," said Veronica lightly. "I've never told anyone else about it." "We haven't told anyone but Agony and Oh-Pshaw," said the Winnebagos, and promised to keep the secret inviolate. "May I ask you also to say nothing about it?" Nyoda asked the Twins. "Certainly we'll keep it to ourselves," replied Agony readily.
She took the ties from her little satchel and spread them out over a chair. "That's better," said Nyoda. "I feel more cheerful already." After staring intently at the flaming square of silk for a while her mental activity began to revive and she commenced to turn over in her mind plans for their escape.
