"Yes, begin by spoiling me—that's right!"
Blue Bonnet gave the hand in hers a little squeeze.
"A little spoiling won't hurt you a bit. I doubt if a great deal would. There are some people you can't spoil."
"I wouldn't advise you to try too hard," Carita laughed.
They stopped first at Blue Bonnet's room, which was two floors below Carita's.
"I don't like your being so far away from me, at all," Blue Bonnet said, as she turned on the light and laid her coat and hat on the bed. "That's a silly rule having the younger girls all together on one floor. They need the older girls to keep them straight."
"I fancy Fraulein can do that," Carita said resignedly, remembering the eagle-faced teacher in charge of the hall. "Mary Boyd says she's a pill!"
"A—what?"
"A pill! I asked Mary what that meant, and she said a dose. You know—something you have to take and don't like."
Blue Bonnet's eyes roamed ceiling-ward and a queer expression curled her lips.
