"Very well. We'll 'kill two birds with one stone.' I was going to your room to talk over your music."
Arm in arm they went down the corridor.
Mrs. White turned Blue Bonnet round after they had entered the room, and drew her attention to a white placard on the wall near the door.
"There," she said, "you will find all the rules."
She ran her finger along the printed column until she came to the one she wanted. Then she read aloud:
"'Visiting among students is forbidden except between the hours of four and five in the afternoon, and two and six on Saturdays.'
"Didn't you see these rules, Miss Ashe?"
"Oh, yes, I saw them," Blue Bonnet answered with unconcern that amazed Mrs. White. "I didn't read them. I hate rules!"
"But I am afraid you will have to read these—and obey them!"
"I suppose so."
