"Yes, we know how much you will," jeered Lee, returning to her books.
Janet sauntered through the corridor stopping, before she entered her room, to speak to one or two of the girls she knew, and tossed her books on the divan.
"I am going to take an afternoon off, Ted," she said. "I promised Rosalie I'd go out to Hilltop with her this afternoon. Marian Austin is going, too. Don't say anything about it."
"And why not?" asked Teddy, looking up from her work.
"Because they will canvas the thing and talk it threadbare, so I thought I wouldn't give them the chance. Rosalie and I are going to call on Marian first, and invite her to go to the club with us."
"Suppose you should encounter 'the hero.'"
"Oh, but I shall not, because he is off somewhere. I took good care to learn that fact before I promised to go. Anyhow, he wouldn't know me for he saw only the lower part of my face, and probably has forgotten how that looked by this time. However, I don't think I should have had the courage to go to that house again but for one thing."
"And what's that?"
"I couldn't resist the temptation of seeing how that room looks, after sitting there for nearly an hour."
"I must say that is a temptation," said Teddy appreciatively.
