“And she said she hoped you’d get caught,” pursued the other girl.
“Wow, wow, says the fox!” exclaimed Jennie. “What do you think of that, now, Nance?”
“I think if we are caught we’ll know whom to blame it to,” responded her chum, decidedly.
“My goodness me! Do you suppose she would be so mean?” cried another of the visiting juniors.
“There’s nothing too mean for Cora to try,” answered Jennie.
“And I saw her outside her room just as I came in here!” exclaimed another girl.
