"Well, if Miss Fenler had been here she'd have had forty fits," cried Vera Vane, "but, Marcus, what they don't know won't worry them, and you needn't tell them."
"And Marcus, you can forget all about the racket before you get home," said Elf.
"Shore, Miss, I's got a powerful short mem'ry. Gid 'ap!"
"Dorothy Dainty cheered as loud as any of us," said Arabella Correyville.
"Well, why shouldn't she?" Patricia asked.
"Oh, she's always so—oh, I don't know,—correct, I guess is what I meant to say," responded Arabella.
"I like fun as well as any one does," said Dorothy who had overheard the remark.
"Oh, but Dorothy, you aren't even the least bit rude," declared Valerie.
"It's not rude to cheer," Dorothy said with a laugh. "I think we were very polite to return their salute."
"Nancy Ferris cheered, too," said a girl who had been very quiet during the hubbub.
