Now if you want to just back out and bring shame upon the Ravens as well as dishonor to the school all right! Only I've told Ginny." "I'll do it," answered Jerry, falteringly. But long after Gyp had gone off into dreamless slumber she lay, wide-eyed, trying to picture this sudden and unpleasant experience that confronted her. Her whole life up to that moment when, in Mr.
Jerry thought, as she watched her, that she'd rather have Isobel love her than any of those other nice girls she had met at Highacres Patricia Everett, Ginny Cox, Peggy Lee, Keineth Randolph "I'll just make her," she vowed, gathering up her shiny new school-books. And that solemn vow was to help Jerry over many a rough spot in the schooldays to come.
But they were no better on the other side, for the larches hid the meadow. They went down through them, therefore, to the bank of the little river the largest tributary of the Daur from the roots of Glashgar. "There he is!" cried Nicie. "I see him," responded Ginny, " with his cows all about the meadow." Donal sat a little way from the river, reading. "He's aye at 's buik!" said Nicie.
"I was only so glaid to see you an' Nicie 'at I forgot my mainners." "Then," returned Ginny, quite satisfied, "would you mind telling me what book you were reading?" "It's a buik o' ballants," answered Donal. "I'll read ane o' them till ye, gien ye like, mem." "I should like very much," responded Ginny. "I've read all my own books till I'm tired of them, and I don't like papa's books.
Poor Ginny was sent to bed for interfering with her father's orders; and what with rage and horror and pity, an inexplicable feeling of hopelessness took possession of her, while her affection for her father was greatly, perhaps for this world irretrievably, injured by that morning's experience; a something remained that never passed from her, and that something, as often as it stirred, rose between him and her.
In her haste and anxiety, however, Nicie had struck into another sheep-track, and was now higher up the hill; so that Ginny could see no living thing nearer than in the valley below: far down there and it was some comfort, in the desolation that now began to invade her she saw upon the road, so distant that it seemed motionless, a cart with a man in it, drawn by a white horse.
"If Ginny Cox is found out, she can't play in the game against the South High," was on more than one tongue. Gyp, deeply impressed by the criticalness of the situation, summoned a meeting of the Ravens. Her face was very tragic. "Girls it's the chance for the Ravens to do something for the Lincoln School!
At home, in her room, Gyp's eloquent arguments had seemed to lose some of their force. Jerry persisted in seeing complications in the course that had fallen to her lot. "It's acting a lie," she protested. "The cause justifies that," cried Gyp, sweepingly. "Anyway, I don't believe Dr. Caton will be half as hard on you as he would have been on Ginny Cox.
A murmur had swept the room when he announced that, through a mistake in the records, the Award went to Dana King instead of either Miss Cox or Miss Travis. Jerry sat next to Ginny and, as Dr. Caton spoke, she squeezed Ginny's hand in a way that said plainly, "If I had it all to do over again I'd do the same thing!"
Gyp frowned at the interruption. "Of course not. We know all about Miss Gray and feel sorry for her, but Ginny doesn't. And, anyway, that isn't the point. I was talking about loyalty to Lincoln." Gyp made her tone very solemn. "Disgrace everlasting, eternal, black disgrace threatens the very foundations of our dear school!" She paused, eloquently.
