"Isn't it mean of her?" she asked of Ruth. "If it had been the Fussy Curls who wanted to go to Triton Lake, it would have been another matter. And besides I was going to write to Tom and see if he couldn't meet us there." "Why, Helen; without asking Mrs. Tellingham?" cried Ruth. "I suppose Tom and some of his chums could happen to go to Triton Lake the same day we went; couldn't they?"
"We will have the ruin of the old structure torn away at once." The murmur of appreciation rose again from the girls assembled. "I do not recall at this moment just how much insurance was on the West Dormitory; I leave those details to Doctor Tellingham, and he is now looking up the papers in the office.
Just as though we had been put ashore here by a crew of mutineers and deserted a pair of Robinson Crusoesses!" "Your English " "Bother my English!" "It would surely bother Mrs. Tellingham if she could hear it, poor dear." "Now, don't sidetrack me," remarked Helen. "Don't you see we are cast away on this desert isle with no means of getting back to the camp unless we swim?"
"There certainly will be something doing at Briarwood Hall with those two roomsful." "Say! that's right!" cried Heavy, eagerly, to Ruth. "You, and Helen, and Mercy, and Jinny, take that quartette room on our other side. We'll just about boss that dormitory. What do you say?" "If Mrs. Tellingham will agree," said Ruth. "I'll ask her."
Tellingham I fear that Briarwood Hall could not exist. However, the doctor is a perfectly harmless person." Grace Tellingham was a rather strong-minded lady and that the doctor would prove to be both mild and "hen-pecked." The car sped along the beautifully shaded road leading into Cheslow; but there was still ample time for the travelers to catch the train.
Tellingham talked cheerfully in chapel about "our graduating class;" but some of the girls who were working with a view to receiving their diplomas in June would never be able to reach the high mark necessary for Mrs. Tellingham to allow them those certificates.
"Those who enter Briarwood Hall must show themselves worthy of the high honor. It takes courage to come under the eye of Mrs. Tellingham; it takes supernatural courage to come under the eye of Picolet!" "If she wasn't out of the house to-night you may believe we wouldn't be out of bed," murmured another of the midnight visitors, whom Ruth was quite sure was Belle Tingley.
Tellingham, I believe that any of the young gentlemen from Major Parradel's school were to be here." "Well, it will make it all the nicer, I am sure," Tom suggested, with his winning smile. "We'll all all us fellows, I mean try to behave our prettiest, Miss Reynolds." "Undoubtedly you will be on your good behavior," said the teacher, drily. But Tom and Ruth could not hurry on ahead now.
"Oh, no, Dr. Tellingham. This is a new girl. We wished to see Mrs. Tellingham," Ruth assured him. "Quite so," he said, briskly. "She is Ah! she comes! My dear! Two of the young ladies to see you," and instantly he was buried in his books again that is, buried all but his shining crown. Mrs. Tellingham was a graceful, gray-haired lady, with a charming smile.
"So you must write me every few days and let me know where you are. Mrs. Tellingham won't mind I'll explain to her," Ruth said, earnestly. "I am not quite sure that I can go myself, yet. But I'll know for sure in a few days. And I'll see if Belle won't ask her father to give you work at Cliff Island. Then, in your off time, you can look for that box your uncle lost. Don't you see?" "Oh, Miss!
