"Of course, there was a remote chance that they and the various girls, who contributed might compare notes.

There were only three girls in the dining room when they took their places, as the majority of the "Wayne Hallites" were spending the afternoon and evening of their last day's vacation with friends. Patience joined them as they were finishing their dessert, and it was laughingly decided to entertain her while she ate, and afterward go for a walk.
"We never have Sunday dinner in the middle of the day at home," commented Elfreda. "When you are at Wayne Hall do as the Wayne Hallites do," quoted Miriam, who had followed Elfreda into the room. "Where is Patience?" inquired Grace. "Enjoying the solitude of her room before the disturber arrives," volunteered Elfreda. "She'll be along presently."
"Why is J. Elfreda in leading strings?" "She is taking exercise," replied Miriam gravely. "J. Elfreda, explain to the lady." "This exercise is compulsory," grinned Elfreda. "No exercise, no lemonade. Of course, you will stay and have some." "Of course," agreed Mabel. "I may not have a chance for a very long time to drink lemonade again with the Wayne Hallites."
