Miss Skelling will never have any confidence in me again, and will make me recite every bit of grammar for the rest of the semester." "I should think you'd cut," ventured Georgie that being, in her opinion, the most obvious method of escaping an examination. "I can't.
Have you read the bulletin-board this morning?" called Cathy Fair, as she caught up with Patty on the way home from a third-hour recitation. "No," said Patty; "I think it's a bad habit. You see too many unpleasant things there." "Well, there's certainly an unpleasant one to-day. Miss Skelling wishes the Old English class to be provided with writing materials this afternoon."
Who gave you those violets? 'With love, from Lady Clara Vere de Vere' that blessed freshman! and you've borrowed every drop of alcohol the poor child ever thought of owning. And whom are those roses from? Miss Skelling! Patty, you ought to be ashamed." Patty had the grace to blush slightly.
She knocked on Miss Skelling's door, and, after the first polite greetings, stated her errand: "I should like, if it is convenient for you, to take the examination I missed." "Do you feel able to take it to-day?" "I feel much better able to take it to-day than I did on Tuesday." Miss Skelling smiled kindly.
"I know what I shall do with you. You are going right over to the infirmary for a few days " "Oh, doctor!" Patty pleaded, with tears in her eyes, "there's truly nothing the matter with me, and I've got to take that examination." "What examination is it?" "Old English Miss Skelling."
"I will see Miss Skelling myself," said the doctor, "and explain that you cannot take the examination until you come out. And now," she added, making a note of Patty's case, "I will have you put in the convalescent ward, and we will try the rest cure for a few days, and feed you up on chicken-broth and egg-nog, and see if we can get that appetite back."
I just met Miss Skelling in the hall five minutes before the blow fell, and she knows I'm alive and able to be about; besides, the class meets again to-morrow morning, and I'd have to cram all night or cut that too." "Why don't you go to Miss Skelling and frankly explain the situation," suggested Lucille the virtuous, "and ask her to let you off for a day or two?
But the point is that it's all learned since Tuesday. The doctor was laboring under a little delusion very natural under the circumstances when she sent me to the infirmary, and I spent my time there studying." "But, Miss Wyatt, this is very unusual. I shall not know how to mark you," Miss Skelling murmured in some distress. "Oh, mark me zero," said Patty, cheerfully.
"When it comes to that, Miss Skelling," she confessed, "I'm afraid it wouldn't be quite fair to the rest of the class for me to take it." Miss Skelling did not understand. "But, Miss Wyatt," she expostulated in a puzzled tone, "it was not difficult. I am sure you could pass." Patty smiled. "I am sure I could, Miss Skelling. I don't believe you could ask me a question that I couldn't answer.
