"If I were Patty I should want that note to be shown to Miss Rowe," suggested Cissie Gardiner.
"It's exactly what I'm going to do with it. Give it me back at once!" cried Enid. "Muriel thoroughly deserves to get into trouble."
"No, Enid, please don't; I beg you won't!" pleaded Patty.
"Why not?"
"Because I don't want you to."
"But why? Miss Rowe ought to hear about it."
"Oh, it really doesn't matter! Now that all of you know I didn't mean to cheat, I don't care. I hate tell-tales."
"I should care," declared Winnie.
"It's no use getting Muriel into trouble," said Patty.
"It would serve Muriel right," said Enid, indignantly. "Patty, you're a great deal too good-natured."
