Mrs. Baird nodded in understanding.
"Of course I won't tell her," she said merrily. "It's a secret just between us," she added with a smile.
CHAPTER XV
THE JUNIOR PROM
Polly and Lois were busily packing their suitcases, while Betty and Angela stood by and offered suggestions. They were leaving on the afternoon train for Cambridge to attend the Junior Prom. Bob and Jim had finally prevailed upon Mrs. Farwell to let them come. Barring the party at Fanny's this was their first big dance, and they were both frankly excited about it.
"What time does your mother get here?" Betty asked. "Is she coming up to school?"
"No; we're going to meet her at the Junction, where we change for the Boston train," Lois replied.
"Oh, I'm sorry; I hoped I was going to see her." Betty was very fond of Mrs. Farwell.
"She'll be here for Commencement," Polly said, "so will Uncle Roddy; he's crazy to see you again. And this summer we're going to have a big house party, Ange. You've got to come this time with Bet."
