Hester, Ida, Noreen, Joyce, Bertha, Carmel, and Doris were the only ones who reached the required totals, so under charge of Miss Herbert they were sent off one afternoon to the town, armed with a long list of commissions from the luckless ones who remained behind. Chilcombe Hall was four and a half miles from Glazebrook, and there was no motor omnibus service.
"Glazebrook told me of one flushed like a woman at a bargain sale, he said and when he pointed out to her that the silk she'd got was bloodstained, she just said, 'Oh, bother! and threw it aside and went back...."

Won't it be fun?" she cried, wriggling in her joy. The Terror gazed thoughtfully at the approaching figure; then he said: "Yes: it would be fun. There'd be no end of a row. But it wouldn't be any use to us.
