“Plan?” Carol inquired lazily. “I didn’t know you had one. What is it for?”
“Listen and find out,” Janet said. “While Phyllis is away, let’s go to her Aunt and ask her to let Phyl go to Briarhurst with us.”
“Not me!” Carol said lustily. “I wouldn’t face that woman for anything.”
“Scaredy cat,” Janet scoffed. “She can’t bite you.”
“She will try hard enough,” Carol declared. “That is the wrong thing to do, Janet. She won’t agree for spite then. You know she never lets Phyl do anything when she thinks Phyl has her heart really set on it. We should use strategy.”
“Such as——” Janet inquired hopefully.
“I don’t know,” Carol admitted.
“Then we’ll do as I suggest—this once,” Janet said. “We’ll go and see her Aunt. Who will go with me?” She looked around. “Don’t all speak at once,” she begged when none of the others had said a word.
Gale laughed. “I might be persuaded,” she said at last. “I’ll go if you will do the talking.”
“Try to keep Janet quiet,” Carol laughed.
