"I wish she'd find her out."
"She can't, unless someone tells, and I hate sneaks."
"Well, I'm really sorry for Dorothy Greenfield. Hope and her set seem to have taken a spite against her. I don't mind if her dresses are shabby, and if she's the only girl in the Form who doesn't own a watch. I vote we make up a special clique to be on her side."
"All right; I'm your man! I admire Dorothy she's so 'game'—she never gives way an inch, whatever Hope says she just sticks her head in the air and looks proud."
"She flares up sometimes."
"Well, I don't blame her. I like a girl who won't be kept down."
"What could we do to boost Dorothy up a little in the Form? Most of the girls are like sheep; if anyone leads hard enough, they'll follow."
"Well, I've an idea."
"Go ahead!"
"You know Dorothy's splendid at acting. She ought to take a principal part in our Christmas play."
