"Two young gentlemen to see you, Miss Bobby and Miss Betty," announced the maid importantly. "They is waiting in the parlor. Mrs. Eustice says you all should go right up." In the parlor the girls found two slim, uniformed young figures who rose like well-set-up ramrods at their entrance. "Bob!" ejaculated Betty, her voice betraying her pleasure. "Bob, you look splendid!"
Eustice put out her hand to Ada, then gazed down at her in evident astonishment. "Diamonds," whispered Betty to Norma Guerin, who seemed depressed. "She wears three diamond rings and one sapphire and a square-cut emerald. And her wrist-watch is platinum set with diamonds." Mrs. Eustice gazed at the soft little hand she held for a few moments, then released it. She said nothing.
Eustice, young man?" the teacher demanded next. "I am her secretary and try to save her work whenever possible. Perhaps I can answer your question." Behind Miss Prettyman's narrow back Betty signaled wildly. "Don't tell hush!" she wig-wagged, laying her finger against her lips. Tommy stared at her idiotically, his mouth gaping. "Thank you, but only Mrs.
The administration building was also connected with the other buildings by a covered passageway which, they were to discover, was opened only in bad weather. Mrs. Eustice, the principal, had a theory that girls did not get out into the fresh air often enough. The main building possessed a handsome doorway, and here the busses stopped and discharged their passengers.
I think, if when you see Ada digging up the bottle, you go to her and say that unless she returns the money and Libbie's first note to you and promises to let the matter drop forever you will expose her Edentown trip to Mrs. Eustice, she will listen to reason." "So do I," agreed Betty. "I don't think she has touched the money she has plenty. But I must have the note so that Libbie can destroy it.
"I'm I'm awfully sorry," faltered the culprit. "I hope it wasn't very expensive. I'll pay Mrs. Eustice, of course, or buy her another one " "That jardiniere happened to be imported from Nippon," remarked Miss Prettyman coldly. "I doubt if it can ever be replaced. It has stood in that exact spot for seven years. But then, naturally, our callers are accustomed to leaving a room gracefully.
"What are you talking about? One at a time. You tell, Norma." "Laura Bennett called us into her room," obediently recited Norma. "Miss Lacey was talking to Ada and Ruth. You could hear every word without listening that is without eavesdropping you know what I mean. Mrs. Eustice must have spoken to Miss Lacey, because she told the girls they would have to send all the trunks home except one apiece.
What's the matter?" asked Betty, in alarm. "You'll promise not to tell Bobby?" demanded Libbie intensely. "Promise me you won't tell Bobby? She'd scold so. And Mrs. Eustice would expel me. If you won't tell Bobby or Mrs. Eustice, Betty, I'll tell you." Betty was now thoroughly aroused.
Then, counting the girls with boxes and the others who have asked to come, we'll have twenty. Twenty of us ought to manage to bring home enough leaves to trim the hall respectably." "We might ask for a holiday!" Bobby's face beamed at the thought. "We haven't had a day off in weeks, and Mrs. Eustice said a long time ago she thought we'd earned one. Will you do the asking, Betty?"
She is Louise's roommate you see, and we eight always do everything together." "All right, Constance may go, too," acquiesced Mrs. Eustice. Betty thanked her warmly and danced off to find Bobby.
