“Well! there’s something very strange about how you took him right away from us——”
“If you don’t stop talking like that,” Nancy answered, her eyes blazing, “I shall not speak to you at all.”
“Well, you’ve got to explain to Grace, then.”
“I will explain nothing to her.”
“Then you mean to spoil our party to-night?”
“No. It isn’t my party, that is evident. I’ll go into some other room while you are holding it, if that’s what you want.”
Cora looked at her askance. Nancy had never shown any temper before since the term had opened. Cora did not really know whether her roommate would do as she said, or not.
“Oh, we’re not dying to have you in here. You can go to Number 38. You know both of the girls from there will be here.”
“That’s what I’ll do, then,” answered Nancy, firmly.
“I’ll tell Grace,” said Cora, rather uncertainly. “Then she’ll be sure and come. Oh, she is mad.”
