"I'm the one who's to blame for all the carrots," pinching Gyp's cheek. "But you have sort of mixed things up." "But we had to win that basketball game," cried Gyp, "and we couldn't unless Ginny played." "Yes you had to win the basketball game," he nodded with a judicious appreciation. "You see, Lincoln got the cup for the series." "And Jerry paid the price yes." "For the honor of the school!"
Because the award was a substantial sum of money to be spent in an educational way, most of the pupils considered it very seriously. "Ginny Cox has the best chance 'cause she always has the highest marks and she's on all the teams."
Why, honest, Midge Fielding was everywhere! Caught a high ball and passed it under before you could wink! And, oh, Ginny she was possessed. She could make that basket anywhere.
"Let's learn to ski a little better before we try that jump. This very minute we'll begin practice for the everlasting defeat of South High! You can use my skis, Jerry. Come on, Ginny the All-Lincoln Ski Team!"
"Did did they all cheer, then, for Ginny?" "I should say so." With a long yawn Gyp uncurled her legs. "I'm dead. I'm going to bed." She turned toward the door. "Oh, say, I most forgot. Ginny told me to tell you that the reason she played the way she did to-night was 'cause she kept thinking of you and what you'd done for her and she wanted to prove that she was worth it.
A buoyance in the very air proclaimed that school days were over. In one of these groups were Ginny Cox, Gyp, Jerry, Pat Everett, Peggy Lee and Isobel. Among them had fallen a constraint. Isobel broke it. "Ginny Cox, you haven't any more right to that Award than I have! You know you built the snowman and Jerry took the blame so's you could play basketball. She's the winner!"
During the morning Ginny Cox had borrowed Graham Westley's skis and had, after many tumbles, succeeded in one thrilling descent. She declared now to the others, between huge mouthfuls of sandwich, that it was the most exciting thing she'd ever done and Ginny, they all knew, had done many! Jerry, next to her, had agreed, quietly, that skiing was very exciting.
And, listen, Jerry, with only two minutes more to play if they didn't make another and then Ginny fell flat, Jerry, with the South High guard right on her chest and her wrist doubled under her and she got up like a flash and her face was as white as that sheet and she made a basket! And we won!" And Gyp, drawing a long, exultant breath, dropped her chin on her knees.
He took it with the eager curiosity of a child, looked at it wonderingly, made out what it was, and then ran leaping and frisking up and down the yard, holding it high over his head, and shouting, "Ta ginny, ta ginny, ta bonny, gowd ginny!" I was saved further trouble by the approach of one of the officers, or, to speak with later knowledge, chiefs, of these wild warriors.
