That means us." It also meant to the listener outside that her time of eavesdropping was up. Before the two occupants of the dressing room had reached the door Marian Seaton had hurried away from it, her original intention quite forgotten. Once the sophomores had done their duty in the way of entertaining their freshmen sisters, they promptly turned to their own affairs.
