When a little later she knocked gently on the door, Elfreda unlocked it, but received her roommate's friendly overtures in sulky silence. After dinner, for the first time since the sophomore reception, she spent the evening in Virginia Gaines's room and that night the two girls prepared for sleep without exchanging a word. Meanwhile Anne telegraphed, "May we bring friend? Will explain later.
"Why should an Indian girl want a college education?" queried Mary Smith, as she listened to her roommate's account of the "Lighting of the Christmas Candles." "I can see why she would need to learn to read and write, and even a high school course I wouldn't mind; but college seems to me perfectly silly, and an awful waste of good money.
That sounds conceited, doesn't it? But you can see how things are, can't you?" "I can, indeed," returned Miriam, and the significance of her tone left no doubt in Elfreda's mind regarding her roommate's understanding of things. The Easter vacation slipped away at the same appalling rate of speed that had marked the passing of all Grace's holidays at home.
One day, after having taken his third demerit on his roommate's account, the inspector having detected tobacco smoke in the room, Frank said: "Why don't you swear off on cigarettes, Bart? They don't do a fellow any good, and they are pretty sure to get him into trouble here at the academy." Hodge was in anything but a pleasant frame of mind, and he instantly retorted: "I know what you mean.
The ring of her rival's skates rasped upon the younger girl's nerves, too. She was under a great strain now. Another full lap would have been more than she could have skated without a breakdown.

"It's a beauty, isn't it?" declared Miriam, passing over her roommate's remark and looking admiringly at the print, which her roommate had just taken from her trunk. "What, this?" asked Elfreda. "You'd better believe it is. Goodness knows I paid enough for it. But I wasn't talking about this print. I was talking about our present junior estate.
All I could see was her gingham shirtwaist suit with its prudish white linen cuffs and collar, and her rough straw hat." Miss Wilson put her arm through her roommate's to hurry her. "Excuse us, girls, if we walk faster; I wish Miss Hobart to meet Nancy. She's the girl ahead with Anna Cresswell."
Before he could square away to meet his foe, Diamond struck him a terrific blow near the temple, knocking him into Rattleton's arms. "Foul!" cried Harry, excitedly. "Horner hadn't given the word." "Foul! foul!" came from all sides. "There is no foul in this fight save when something is used besides fists," declared Merriwell as he staggered from his roommate's arms. "It's all right and it goes."
Nancy had read over the rules again and she knew that from rising bell until breakfast at half-past seven she was free to do as she chose. So, not caring to listen to her roommate's ill-natured remarks, she slipped out and found her way downstairs and out of the building. It was a clear, warm September morning. The leaves on the distant maples had only just begun to turn.
The portion which stood low was flooded to the second floor. Hester thought of Aunt Debby as her eyes rested on the distant town. "There is no fear there," said Helen following the glance of her roommate's eyes. "Fairview Street is the highest in town. You remember there is a terrace with steps where it joins Market.
