"Certainly."
Betty opened the door and looked up at the wall over the bed. As she had expected Maud's snow shoes were gone from their accustomed place. She explained to the teachers.
"She's probably miles away by now," she finished. "Did she have any examination this afternoon?"
"Yes, in literature," Miss Porter told her, "and I can't believe she'd cut—"
"She wouldn't—not literature anyway," Betty said, confidently, and turned to Mrs. Baird.
"I'm sure I can find her by tracing her snow shoes," she said.
"But you mustn't go alone; something may have happened. Take one of the stable boys with you," Mrs. Baird answered.
"I'd rather have Polly and Lois," Betty said, "if there's anything wrong."
"Very well, where are they?" Mrs. Baird asked.
"Taking their Latin exams," Betty told her.
