“I believe she knew we were due at the athletic field this afternoon,” grumbled Bobby, as they stood waiting at the foot of the tower stairs for the shower to pass.

“It did seem as though Miss Carrington was particularly harsh to-day,” murmured Eve.
“That’s so! She was as cross as two sticks,” declared Bobby.

“It’s her conscience,” ventured Bobby.
Eve looked at her and shook her head.
