Setting Mascot down, Janet rushed upon Fay, and with Edna's help, carried her, laughing and struggling, to her room, where they tossed her upon her bed.
"Such disrespect to a senior," said Fay, too weak with laughter to rise. "Think if any of those freshmen had seen me, what would they have thought?"
"I hope they did," returned Janet. "It would be good enough for you. You are too little to be a senior anyway. I've a mind to spank you." She stood over her victim looking so determined that Fay began to beg.
"Now, Janet, please. I'll be good, really. I won't do so any more, I promise."
"See that you don't, then," said Janet pouncing down and beginning to tickle her.
"Don't, Janet, don't," pleaded Fay, hysterically. "I'll promise anything. Indeed, I will be good."
And Janet desisted. "Come, Ted," she said; "she has promised not to do so any more."
"Till the next time," cried Fay, as she quickly sprang up and turned the key upon the two as they reached the corridor.
"I move we go and hunt up Miss Perkins," said Edna. "Really, Fay's nonsense may be a serious matter to the poor child. Will you go with me to find her?"
Janet agreed, and they went to the office together to inquire the abiding place of Miss Perkins.
