“Hah! those big girls have after-lights-out spreads, too. That Canuck won’t dare say a word.”
“But some of the teachers——”
“You needn’t borrow trouble,” said Cora. “Of course, if you don’t want to do it——”
“I—I——”
“Sure, you understand that I’ll pay my half,” went on Cora, eagerly. “All you got to do is to lend me the money until Christmas time.”
“Oh, that’s not it!” cried Nancy, who was naturally a generous-hearted girl.
“Then you’re in for it?”
“If—if you think the other girls will like it?”
“Sure they will!” cried Cora. “Hurrah! Now, you leave it to me. I’ll tell Grace first of all, and we’ll pick out a nice crowd. Why, with twenty dollars we can have at least twenty girls.”
Nancy began to enthuse a little herself. She longed so to be friendly with her own class, especially. There was Jennie Bruce, the fun-loving girl, and several others whom she particularly liked. Of course, they would all have to be domiciled in the West Side. No girl could cross from one side of the Hall to the other after curfew without being observed.
