“Hush!” exclaimed Laura. “We’re making too much noise. Somebody will come and put us out.”
“Nope. Nobody here but John, the janitor. Gee Gee’s gone home, you bet. I wish those other girls would come and we could get down to business.”
“You look out, Bobby. If you get black marks again maybe you’ll be taken off the team for the rest of the term.”
“Oh, oh!” cried the irrepressible. “Don’t say such a thing.”
“That would be too mean!” cried Dora.
“Indeed it would!” added her sister.
They were all making a deal of noise. As Laura said, “one could scarcely hear one’s self think.” And noise was not allowed in the school building, whether in classes, or out. Suddenly, at the height of the revelry, there came a stern knock on the door. Behind the thick oak the startled girls heard a sharp voice exclaim:
“Young ladies!”
“Oh, gee!” gasped Bobby.
“Hush!” commanded Laura.
