"Don't go to the proms?" she suggested.
"I didn't say it and I'd die before I did," said I virtuously. "But what's your object?"
"Education," said Miss Hicks mildly. "I'm paying full tuition and I want to get all there is out of college. I think politics is a fascinating study. I didn't get a chance to do much at it last year, but I'm learning something about it every day now."
"But what's the good of it all?" I protested. "You'll just get the college affairs hopelessly mixed up—"
"Like the Oratorical Association was last year?" she inquired gently.
"Oh, pshaw!" said I, getting entirely red. "Let's not get personal. What can we do to satisfy you?"
"You've been satisfying us beautifully so far," said Miss Hicks.
"Who's us?" I asked.
"I don't in the least mind telling you," said Miss Hicks. "It's the Blanks."
"The Blanks!" I repeated fretfully. "Never heard of 'em."
