Belding found in the gallery overlooking the big gymnasium floor many of her neighbors, church friends, or fellow club-members. "I've been trying to get here for months," one stout lady confided to the Market Street jeweler's wife; "but it does seem to me I never have a minute to spare. But Lluella says that I must come now, for the term is ending. That's Lluella over yonder jumping on that mat.
Jennie Stone, Sarah Fish, Helen, Lluella and Belle, all appeared prominently in the "close up" scenes Mr. Grimes took. In the classroom, dining hall, the graduation march, and in the Italian garden scenes, most of the seniors and juniors were used.
The minutes dragged by with funereal slowness. Lluella began to sob, and the most cheerful of the party could not keep up her spirits indefinitely. "Oh, but we'll be all right, I am sure!" quoth Madge. "Don't get down-hearted, girls." Helen broke down next and declared that she could not remain idle any longer. "We must move out of this," she said. "We must find our way back.
"So do I. At the lodge," scoffed Belle. "No. Nearby. Tom and I were just talking about it. Up that ravine yonder is the place where I fell over the cliff. And Jerry's cave is right there one end of it." "A cave!" ejaculated Helen. "That would be bully." "If only we could have a good fire and get dry and warm again," quoth Lluella, her teeth already chattering.
They were both sure, by Ruth's actions and the doctor's first noncommittal report, that Amy had some contagious disease. Curly had made a deal of the sore throat Amy had confessed to. "And if that's so," Helen said, almost in tears, "poor Ruth will be quarantined for weeks." "Why, Helen, how will she graduate?" gasped Lluella. "She won't! She can't!" declared Ruth's chum. "It will be dreadful!"
They elected a committee of five Ruth, Nettie, Lluella, Sarah Fish and Mary Cox to have charge of the collection of the fund, and to go immediately to Mrs. Tellingham and show her what money was already promised and how much more could be expected within ten days. There was enough, they knew, to warrant the preceptress in having the work of tearing away the ruins begun.
The Upedes were much more friendly to Helen than to herself, and Helen was vastly interested in Mary Cox, Belle Tingley, Lluella Fairfax, and some of the other livelier members of the Up and Doing Club. But, after a while Helen strolled into her own room and mingled with the Infants who had there assembled. They had come almost to their full strength.
"And that Isadore Phelps had the cheek to ask me how I liked the taffy!" exclaimed Heavy. "I could have shaken him!" "The panther scare spoiled their 'gloat' over us, that's a fact," said Madge Steele. "But I intimated to that brother of mine that I proposed to see the matter squared up before we left Snow Camp." "I'd like to know how we'll get the best of them?" complained Lluella. "That's so!
They traveled as far as Cheslow together, where Heavy and Belle and Lluella went to their homes for a day or two, to finish out the tag-end of the vacation, while the Steeles and Isadore went home with the Camerons, and Ruth returned to the Red Mill. And how glad Aunt Alvirah was to see Ruth!
Some of the party were, as Ann said, "yawning their heads off." Lluella and Heavy had camped down upon the old buffalo-robe before the fire and were already more than half asleep. "I do wish they'd come back," muttered Bob Steele to Isadore Phelps. "We can't tell in here whether the storm has stopped, or not.
