I've told you, Arabella Corryville, because now you'll know which I am, as soon as you see me, and you'll be just mean if you don't tell me now what you're going to wear." Arabella hesitated. "Dorothy wouldn't like to have us tell," she said. "Well, we needn't tell her we told, and what about me? Here I've treated you to candy and ice cream, and told you all about my costume.

"She's Arabella Corryville," said Nina, "and she's in our class, and I wish " she stopped as short as Nancy had a few moments before. Lola turned to look at Nina. "What were you going to say?" she whispered. "I was going to say that I wished she wasn't."
"Arabella Corryville is to be in our class," said Flossie, "and when I told Uncle Harry he laughed, and asked me if her Aunt Matilda was coming to school with her." Of course they laughed, and it was Mollie who first spoke. "Your Uncle Harry is always joking," she said, "and sometimes I can't tell whether he is in earnest, or only saying things just for fun."
You know Mr. Corryville was in your papa's class at college, and if he says he wishes Arabella to join the class, your papa will surely say 'yes." "He certainly will," said Dorothy, "but there's one thing to think of," she said, with a bright smile, "There are nice girls in the class, and if Arabella is queer, we mustn't mind it."
Aunt Charlotte turned to the window, and set the little silver bell tinkling, and the pupils at once filed into the schoolroom. They found Arabella Corryville sitting primly in her place.
