“And a fat chance we’ve got to do that!” exclaimed Bobby, scornfully.
“Four of them are as good as won,” said Dora, confidently. “Those with the West High and Lumberport teams.”
“Don’t be too sure of the Lumberport team,” advised Laura. “It improves all the time.”
“We can beat it if Roberta keeps up her end,” declared Jess.
“But how about Keyport and East High?”
“Keyport has outplayed us all but one game,” complained Dorothy Lockwood. “East High has beaten us two games and one was a draw. But we have beaten them and we ought to be able to do it again.”
“That’s when Hester was on the team,” said Laura, quietly.
Bobby stood up and smote her two hands together loudly.
“If we only had Hester back!” she cried.
“Why, Bobby!” cried Jess.
