Mildred and Evelin, who had been rather inclined to favor the Dorothys, were won over by this and the point was carried. The meeting stayed where it was and the vote was cast. When the congratulations were over they started with their plans for the welcome dance. "Do let's have it different," beseeched Betty. "Last year it was awful. All the new girls cried and there wasn't enough ice cream."
She had always been on hand for basket ball practice, but her attitude had been sullen and she had spent most of her time with the Dorothys and Evelin. Polly realized that this was an important point and must be dealt with. She wasn't angry at Fanny, for she knew to just what extent her classmates were to blame. "Did Dot Mead know Betty had told you not to coast on this hill?" she asked finally.
Baird nodded her head. "That I leave to you; you're much the better judge. Only do make haste, I am so afraid some one will be hurt. I saw little Phylis Guile almost run into a tree." Polly and Betty promised to start at once. They went up to the studio and made Lois put away her brushes and join them. Then they told the Dorothys and Evelin and Mildred.
Fanny wouldn't like it." She treated the whole thing so lightly that both the younger girls thought they had attached more importance to the affair than was necessary. After they left, however, Polly sprang out of bed. "Something must be done," she declared. Betty ground her teeth. "Jemima! I'd like to give both those Dorothys a ticket to the Fiji Islands," she said angrily.
Angela inquired, lazily. "Don't tire yourself out, Poll, they're not worth it." "Oh, the Dorothys don't matter. They'll come around in time if we're nice to them. Of course, my being a heroine for the present won't help any," Polly said, with a grimace. The interview with Fanny straightened everything out. Polly's surmise had been correct.
Evelin and Helen agreed with her and though the two Dorothys voted for "The Princess," the majority was in Betty's favor. It was decided that Mrs. Baird and Miss Porter should cast each girl in her part. Towards the end of the meeting, there was a knock on the door. Polly opened it. Louise Preston and Florence Guile stood in the hall.
After what seemed an endless wait, the names were sorted and counted, written on a sheet of paper and presented to Lois. She looked at it, gave a shout of joy, jumped up from her seat, and then, remembering the two Dorothys' love of form, she said quietly: "I have the honor to announce that Polly Pendleton has won the election by a sweeping majority." And so it happened
She told them they were jealous cats. Imagine!" Polly smiled grimly. "Eleanor Trent is on my team; she naturally would resent it. Hasn't Ange told you about the fuss yesterday, with the Dorothys?" "No; what happened!" Connie was interested immediately. She felt this was a personal matter of her class. For the minute, she completely forgot she was only a visitor.
After school the three held council, while she took down Lois' Princeton banner for a week was up and triumphantly put up her own. "I don't envy you your job, Polly," Betty began, "who are you going to choose for your team?" "Isn't it a blessing the Dorothys don't play?" Lois laughed, "or we'd have to have them." "Why the main team is easy," Polly said.
"Do you think the Dorothys are going to vote against 'The Merchant of Venice'?" Betty asked, dropping down on the lower step of the stairs. "I'll simply refuse to act, if we have to have Tennyson's 'Princess. I think it's a silly thing." "Oh, Bet!" Lois protested. "Well, I do, and we'd never learn all those yards of verse by Commencement."
