After the first week of school the girls and boys settled down to what Graham called "digging." Geometry looked less formidable to Jerry, Cicero was like a beautiful old friend, Gyp was with her in English and history, Ginny Cox was in one of her classes, too, and Jerry liked her better each day. Patricia Everett was teaching her to play tennis until basketball practice began.
"Ye may weel speir, missie! but I hae ill tellin' ye. "I should like to ask Donal what book he has got," said Ginny. "I'll cry till 'im, an' ye can speir," said Nicie. "Donal! Donal!" Donal looked up, and seeing his sister, came running to the bank of the stream. "Canna ye come ower, Donal?" said Nicie. "Here's Miss Galbraith wants to spier ye a question."
Ginny Cox was the first to reach her. She threw her arms about her and almost strangled her in a passionate hug. "You wonder! Oh, if anything had happened to you " The boys were loud and generous in their praise. "Now we've found someone that can put it all over Hansen," shouted one of them. "Let's challenge South High right off!"
And a crawly snake is such a dreadful symbol and it's easy to draw." Gyp's brain worked at lightning pace in its initiative. "What girls shall we ask?" Gyp rattled off a number of names. They were all girls who were in the Third Form study-room. "Can't we ask Ginny Cox?" Gyp considered. "No," she answered decidedly. "She'd be fun but she's too chummy with Mary Starr and Mary Starr's a Sphinx.
"And if that darned ginny don't get too blamed curious and cone fogging over this way " He spoke the phrase aloud, out of the middle of a mental arrangement of the chance he was taking. To heat the spur red-hot, draw it across the fresh VP again and again, and finally drag it crisscross once or twice to make assurance an absolute certainty, did not take long.
Ginny!" but no answer came back. The mountain was as still as at midnight. She ran to the spot where they had parted, and along the other path: it was plainer than that where she had been so idly forgetting herself. She hurried on, wildly calling as she ran.

And Jerry sensed the humility that this embarrassment called into being. Ginny waylaid Jerry going home from school. Jerry was carefully living up to the terms of her "sentence"; each day, directly after the close of school, she walked home alone.
All of which was strange tribute to Jerry's ears, for, back at the Notch, poor Si Robie had always been dubbed the "funniest" child in the school and he had been "simple." Jerry did not know exactly how valuable a good "forward" was to any school but, she told herself, she knew she was going to like Ginny Cox. In the gymnasium the girls found Graham with a group of boys.
"Next week, Tuesday, our All-Lincoln girls' basketball team plays our deadly enemy, South High. And what will happen without Ginny Cox? Who else can make the baskets she can? Defeat ignominious defeat will be our sad lot " Her voice trailed off in a wail that found its echo in every Raven's heart. "I'd forgotten the game! What a shame!" "Why couldn't Ginny have thought of that?" "Maybe Doc.
