“Oh, it will be just heavenly!” sighed Dolly. “But I must scoot to my Geometry now. See you to-morrow, Dot. Good-bye.”
“All right. Good-bye.”
CHAPTER II
A JOKE AT SCHOOL
When the two D’s reached school next morning, they found a group of their friends giggling and whispering in a corner of the Recreation Room.
“What’s the joke?” asked Dotty as they drew near.
“Hello, Two D’s,” cried Tod Brown. “How are you, Toodies? Just wait till you hear what’s up! The greatest sell ever! The biggest joke of the season. Oh, me, oh, my!”
“Tell us,” begged Dolly. “Tell us, Tod, what is it?” She was taking off her hat and coat as she talked, and as she stepped into the coatroom to hang them up, Celia Ferris slipped in and whispered to her. “Now don’t jump on the scheme, Dolly Fayre. You’re such a goody-goody, I’m half afraid to let you in on it.”
“Why, is it mean?” and Dolly’s blue eyes flashed, for she hated a mean joke.
“No, it isn’t mean, at least no meaner than she deserves. But I wish they wouldn’t tell you; you’re an old spoilsport, and I know you’ll say you won’t join in.”
“Join in what? Do tell me, or I can’t say what I’ll do.”
