They were to go to bed at the usual time, have their light out at nine o'clock, and as soon as they heard Miss Fenler pass down the hall, and then descend the stairs, they were to open their door softly, close it behind them, and then, with greatest caution, make their way along the hall to Vera's room.
That Arabella was to stay, too, and that she thought they would have a finer time than we." "I wonder how they amused themselves," Dorothy said. "Glenmore would be so quiet with all the girls away." "And Miss Fenler would have all the time to watch them, with none of the other pupils to care for," responded Nancy. "Dorothy, Nancy! Come down so I can tell you something!" called Vera.
Vera raised her eyebrows, presented the tips of her fingers, and told Dorothy in a high, squeaky voice that she was very glad to know her. Elf did the same in an exact copy of Vera's manner. Several of the pupils giggled, but to their credit, Dorothy and Nancy managed not to laugh. When a half-dozen girls had been presented, some one told Miss Fenler that Mrs.
Marvin breathed a sigh of relief when Patricia had actually left Glenmore, and Miss Fenler remarked that Arabella was really too slow to get into mischief, now that she had no one to assist her. The ride had been a long one, and the car had been hot after the early morning.
Miss Fenler looked anything but pleased, but she dared not refuse. Arabella seemed quieter than ever when she came down the stairway, her wet garments exchanged for dry ones, and her straight hair primly braided, thanks to Miss Fenler. Doubtless she had not recovered from her surprise when she found herself in the hogshead.
"Nancy, what do you suppose the girls are up to?" "Vera has just come from the village with a bundle twice as big as the one Miss Fenler found Patricia bringing in, and she has gone around toward the back door with it." "She's trying to dodge Miss Fenler," Nancy said. "But, Nancy, she can't get to her room from the back way. The back door leads into the kitchen. There's no back stairway."
Marvin was absolutely amazed to glance toward her window just in time to see Patricia entering the house with a cat in her arms. Questioned as to where she obtained the cat she said that a boy gave it to her, that she didn't know his name, or where he lived. "Where do you expect to keep it?" asked Miss Fenler, who had been sent to meet her.
"Don't worry about those two funny girls," she said, "for if they won't study, or can't study, and so are not allowed to remain, you'll be just as happy, Dorothy dear, and for that matter, so will they." Later, when together they descended the quaint stairway, they found the ever-present Miss Fenler, waiting to present them.
There's no knowing how long she would have permitted Arabella to stand out in the hall, but suddenly she remembered that Miss Fenler strode down the corridors every night after lights were supposed to be out, just to learn if any one of the girls were defying the rule. With a rather loud "O dear!"
Ignoring the excuse, Miss Fenler continued: "I called to tell you to remove that great card, and put a small one in its place with only your names upon it, and in regard to your efforts to obtain work, you can not have any such notice upon your door. Instead you must leave your names at the office and I will see if any of the pupils will patronize you."
