All three girls went off into peals of laughter. All but Wee Watts, who remained as sober as a judge.
"Do we, Wee?"
"Wee do!" giggled Annabel.
No one offered to explain the joke and Blue Bonnet looked mystified.
"First year?" Deborah inquired of Blue Bonnet.
"First," Blue Bonnet said. "I have answered that question fifty times to-day. I believe I'll have a placard printed and hang it round my neck."
"It might save breath during the next few days," Sue remarked. "Everybody you meet will ask you that. It sort of breaks the ice."
Blue Bonnet put down her tea cup and rose.
"It was awfully good of you girls to be so nice to me to-day. I appreciate it ever so much. I think I must go now. Carita will be looking for me. Come and see me, won't you? I'm in number ten"—she nodded toward Deborah Watts. "Not being a Senior I can't make you tea, but I might manage to have some crackers and Eagle milk. Good-by."
