Scene I.
Scene: It may represent a schoolroom, hall or campus, to suit the convenience. Entrances right and left or one entrance will be sufficient.
Florence and Vivian enter, arms entwined around each other’s waists, whispering eagerly. They wear yellow badges with black letters. Effie, a little girl of eleven or twelve, comes tiptoeing up behind, pounces on the entwined arms and cries “Boo!” Girls jump and shriek slightly, then confront Effie indignantly.
Florence. Effie Warren, you’re a perfect little nuisance!
Effie (mimicking her). Florence Dennis, you’re a perfect big nuisance!
Vivian. How long had you been there behind us?
