Having lowered the shade, Lydia sat down, leaving the length of the carriage between herself and Gannett. At length he missed her and looked up. "I moved out of the sun," she hastily explained. He looked at her curiously: the sun was beating on her through the shade. "Very well," he said pleasantly; adding, "You don't mind?" as he drew a cigarette-case from his pocket.
In these circumstances he would have gone to Teeny-bits, or he might even have imposed upon the hospitality of Neil Durant, if he had not known that loyalty to the school demanded that he should not bother any member of the eleven. He finally sought consolation by going down to the basement of Gannett Hall to pay a visit to old Jerry.
"It's because I care " "Then I have a right to be heard. If you love me you can't leave me." Her eyes defied him. "Why not?" He dropped her hands and rose from her side. "Can you?" he said sadly. The hour was late and the lamp flickered and sank. She stood up with a shiver and turned toward the door of her room. At daylight a sound in Lydia's room woke Gannett from a troubled sleep.
He made up his mind that he liked him still better when Turner said: "None of the fellows call me Terrible Turner, you know that was just some bunk that Bassett invented. They all call me Snubby on account of my nose, I guess." That noon an incident occurred that some of the roomers in Gannett Hall noticed: just before lunch Teeny-bits' trunk came. Mr.

Both women were utterly indifferent to the details of their appearance, but they were splendid workers and leading spirits in the New England Woman's Club. It was said to be the trouble between Abby May and Kate Gannett Wells, both of whom stood for the presidency of the club, that led to the beginning of the anti-suffrage movement in Boston.
Gannett Hall was dark and quiet when the Head and the newcomer to the school stole softly up the stairs and stopped at Number 34 on the third floor. Teeny-bits unlocked the door, reached in to switch on the electric lights and stood aside to let Doctor Wells enter first. He followed and led the way directly to the closet where he kept his clothes. Swinging open the door he looked down.
Three goals were missed. At Ridgley the name of Norris became a thing of dread; the leader of the Jefferson team had assumed the proportions of a Goliath. "I'll bet Neil Durant can stop him," Fred Harper loyally declared to a group on the steps of Gannett Hall. But there was no great assurance in his voice and the answer that came back revealed the doubt that was in every one's mind.
On the morning after the discovery of the loot hidden under the floor of the closet at 34 Gannett Hall Teeny-bits awoke with the feeling that he had been experiencing a nightmare in which disaster and unhappiness had fastened a death-like clutch upon him. It scarcely seemed possible that those events with which the evening had been crowded were real.
At eight o'clock Campbell and Bassett sauntered out and Chuan Kai received his fat tip. The big car rolled out to the "mansion" on the hillock and, when the chauffeur had been found, sped to Ridgley School. Five minutes before nine it discharged its burden at the doors of Gannett Hall. During the week that followed there was a frenzy of football talk in every Ridgley dormitory.
