“It’s very strange.”
“Not at all.”
“Well, I don’t know how you will explain it to Grace.”
“I don’t have to,” said Nancy, and now she was getting angry.
“Let me tell you, Miss, you will have to,” cried Cora, more snappishly than ever.
“I do not see why.”
“Let me tell you Grace Montgomery is the most influential and popular girl in our class. You’ll find that out if you continue to offend her.”
“I don’t see how I have offended her; nor do I see how I can pacify her if she is angry with me,” returned Nancy, doggedly.
“You’d better let Bob Endress alone, then,” cried Cora.
“Why! how meanly you talk,” said Nancy, fairly white now with anger.
