Many of the pictures were to be taken at Briarwood Hall. Mrs. Tellingham, on behalf of the dormitory fund, was to have a certain interest in the profits of the production. These legal and technical matters Ruth had nothing to do with. She was able, with an untrammeled mind, to go on with the actual work of writing the scenario.
"Why why I didn't know so many people cared," stammered Ann. "You see, you have a way of making friends unconsciously. I can see that," Mrs. Tellingham said, kindly. "Now, do not be discouraged. You will make friends among the girls in just the same way. Don't mind their banter for a while. The rough edges will soon rub off "
"But there are rough edges," admitted the western girl, hanging her head. "Don't mind. There are such in most girls' characters and they show up when first they come to school. Keep cheerful. Come to me if you are in real trouble and stick close to Miss Fielding, here. I can't give you any better advice than that," added Mrs. Tellingham, with a laugh.
Some of the girls looked after her in surprise; but it was not an uncommon thing for a girl to leave her seat and approach the preceptress. Mrs. Tellingham looked up with a smile when she saw Ruth coming. She always had a smile for the girl of the Red Mill. The preceptress, however, was a sharp reader of faces.
For the day following Thanksgiving there was a trip to Triton Lake planned, for that great sheet of water was ice-bound, too, and a small steamer had been caught 'way out in the middle of the lake, and was frozen in. Tellingham made no objection to it. Besides, it was vacation week, and the Preceptress was much more lenient. Of course, Helen was going; but Ruth had her doubts.
Tellingham was not there. He was totally unconscious of the girls' presence, and he read in a half whisper to himself, like a child conning a lesson. Ruth and Helen looked at each other, each thinking the same question. Could this be Doctor Tellingham, the great historian?
"My goodness me!" exclaimed Helen, when Ruth had sat down and Cheslow was coming into view before them. "I'm just as excited as I can be. Aren't you afraid of meeting Mrs. Tellingham? She's got an A. B. after her name. And her husband is a doctor of almost everything you can think!" Mrs.
The West Dormitory must be built and within the time originally specified by Mrs. Tellingham when she had thought the insurance would fully pay for the work of reconstruction. Many girls, it seemed, had already written home begging contributions to the fund which they expected would be raised for the new building.
"I guess Mrs. Tellingham will have something to say about that, my dear." Helen seemed to have forgotten the little difficulty that had troubled her chum and herself the night before, and Ruth said nothing further about the Infants forming a society of their own. At least, she said nothing about it to Helen.
"She has shown plainly," said Mrs. Tellingham, with sternness, "that she is a most sly and mean-spirited girl. I am sorry that one of the young ladies of Briarwood Hall is possessed of so contemptible a disposition." It was a frosty night and snow lay smoothly upon the campus. Only the walks and the cemented place about the fountain were cleaned.
