Gyp's delight was principally because it was the first "real" evening party to which she had been invited; it was a milestone in her life it meant that she was very grown-up. "Jerauld Travis you don't act a bit excited! It will be heaps of fun for Pat's father and mother are the jolliest people and there'll be dancing and boys and spliffy eats." "I never went to a party like that."
Virginia Cox threw her skates over her shoulder; Isobel, Dorrie Carr and herself were the last to leave the lake. The school grounds were deserted. "Oh, look at the snowman someone's started," cried Ginny, as they walked through the grounds. "Say, this is spliffy snow to pack! Let's finish up the work of art." In her enthusiasm over her suggestion her ennui was forgotten.
The extravagance of her demonstration startled Jerry, but when Gyp introduced her, in an off-hand way: "This is Ginny Cox, Jerry," Jerry found herself fascinated by the dash and "camaraderie" in the girl's manner. There were other introductions and excited greetings; each tried to tell how "scrumptious" and "gorgeous" and "spliffy" she thought the new school.
I think it's that horrid Cora Stanton and Amy Mathers that makes her act so, anyway. They're horrid! Amy Mathers puts peroxide on her hair and Cora Stanton cheated in the geometry exam everyone says so I know what let's do, Jerry, there were some cup cakes left; I saw them in the pantry let's go down ever so quietly and get them and we'll have a spliffy spread."
"Of course you ought to be. And Jerry can be secretary because she helped find this spliffy room." "Girls, at the next meeting let's each bring a knife, fork, spoon, plate and cup." "Oh, won't it be fun?" A Raven pirouetted on her toes in a most unparliamentary and unbird-like fashion. "Pat and I'll bring the eats next Wednesday," declared Peggy. "Some one has to start."
Then I wish that I'll have a perfectly spliffy position offered to me somewhere which I shall refuse because a tall man with curly yellow hair and soulful, speaking gray eyes has asked me to marry him. Then I'll marry him and have six children and I'll bring them to the mountains to live. Then" she paused for breath "if I'm not asking too much I wish that my hair'll get curly."
Gyp bounded to the exact centre of the bed. "We won! We won! But, oh, Jerry, it was a squeak! Honest to goodness, my heart isn't beating right yet. Tied, Jerry at the half. Then Muff Bowling on the South High made two spliffy baskets they were great, even if she made 'em! Our girls acted as though they were just dummies, but didn't they wake up? You should have seen their passing then.
