"Let's get acquainted," she said. "Why not? We'll never meet again under more thrilling circumstances," and she laughed. "This is Miss Laura Belding, Miss Steele. On your other hand is Miss Hargrew Miss Clara Hargrew. I am Josephine Morse. I used to live across the street from the old Eaton place where you live now." "You are a stranger in town, are you not?"
Mann!" cried Bobby boldly, "you are not really going to let that Hester Grimes act in this play, are you? She is perfectly horrid!" "Miss Hargrew," was the somewhat sharp answer, "I hope you will not let personal dislikes enter into this play. It does not matter who or what Miss Grimes may be, if she can take the part " "But she'll never be able to do it in the world!"
"Oh, come on, Lil," said Bobby. "Tell us the worst. We're prepared for murder, even." "You are very rude, Clara Hargrew," declared Lily Pendleton. "Hessie is not to blame. She failed in rhetoric, and when Miss Carrington tried to put a lot of home work on her she refused to take it." "What?" gasped Jess. "Oh! She did refuse, did she?" snapped Bobby. "And a fat lot that would help her!"
"I I'll try," said her daughter, flushed and excited at the prospect Laura's suggestion opened before her. Scarcely was Bobby Hargrew of a happier disposition and of more volatile temperament than the Lockwood twins. Dora and Dorothy, while still chubby denizens of the nursery, saw that the world was bound to be full of fun for them if they attacked it in the right spirit.
"You are just the meanest boys!" flared out Bobby Hargrew, as they all trooped down to Lake Luna to take almost the last look at the roped-off arena before the carnival would twinkle its lights that evening at six o'clock. "I don't know, Bobby," drawled Chet. "I believe we really could be meaner if we tried." "No you couldn't!" snapped Clara Hargrew with finality.
When he saw what it was I handed him, he grabbed it and just snarled at me: "'Where did you get that, Miss Hargrew? "And when I told him, he looked as though he didn't believe me and had to search his pocket to make sure he had dropped it. And he looked at me so fiercely and suspiciously. Goodness! I don't know what I've done to him." "He's odd, you know," suggested Mother Wit.
The group of juniors, however, who had made the school's athletic record for the year in the Girls' Branch Athletic League, had other matters to discuss and in their opinion they were matters of much greater moment. "Boiled down," stated Bobby Hargrew, "to its last common divisor, it is 'Where, oh, where shall we spend our vacation?"
"And of course," grumbled Bobby Hargrew to the Lockwood twins, Dora and Dorothy, "all the teachers have got to come and interfere. We can't do a sol-i-ta-ry thing without Gee Gee, or Miss Black, or some of them, poking their noses into it." "You can't say that Professor Dimp pokes his nose into our affairs," laughed Dora. "No, indeed," said her twin.
Nor did Laura wish to discuss the affair with Jess or Bobby Hargrew. She was afraid to tell anybody what she surmised about Professor Dimp's companion. It was after breakfast which Liz served with all the spirit and cheerfulness, so Bobby said, of an Egyptian mummy with the mumps! that they first spied the big barge coming from the north shore of the lake.
As it chanced it was Bobby Hargrew who attempted to play inquisitor with Short and Long, meeting the boy with the youngest Long, Tommy, on the slippery hill of Nugent Street Tommy was so bundled up in a "Teddy Bear" costume that he could scarcely trudge along, and he held tightly to his brother's hand.
