Emmalyn paid not the slightest heed. "Miss Brown! Answer when I speak!
Why do you not answer?" "I didn't know you were addressing me. My name is not Emma-line!" She drew out the "line" with provoking mimicry. Fraulein reddened; but she held her peace. She had encountered Emmalyn Brown before. Sometimes disastrously. At her desk Blue Bonnet worked busily, glancing often at the clock. She was writing a theme, and writing against time.
