“Oh, nobody will,” said Marjorie. “We’re too happy for that.”
“No, I promise I won’t either,” said Alice Endicott. “Remember how homesick I was last year at school?”
“I certainly do remember,” replied Marjorie. “It was all our fault too. But there won’t be any homesick girls next year!”
“No, I mean to do my share, too,” added Alice.
“Girls,” began Miss Phillips, interrupting the conversation and changing the subject, “I have a new lieutenant for you.”
“Good! Who is she?”
“Maybe not so good,” said Ruth. “Tell us quick!”
“Guess!”
“A teacher?” asked Marjorie.
“No.”
