“My what?” exclaimed Cynthia.

“Why—uniform. Didn’t you all dress alike in that place where you were?”

Cynthia turned her face from Beth suddenly. “Oh—yes,” she said, in a muffled tone. “I see. I just had to get different clothes.”

“Well, maybe we can fix you up a little better.”

“Who’s ‘we?’” demanded Cynthia, quickly and sharply.

“There is a friend here who is going to school too.”

“Are you on your way to school?” asked Cynthia.

“Yes,” Beth replied.

“What school?”

“Rivercliff.”
