“I think so! Bring Louise and somebody else for Ramon.”
“Great idea. Let’s see, three of you, all freshmen?”
“Yes. The girls were in my class.”
“All right. It’s a surprise party, then, just as Chet had the nerve to suggest. Tell your mother and surprise the girls.”
“Glorious. I’m delighted that he though of it. Do get Carolyn and Peggy if you can.”
“They already know about it, in case it is decided.”
“Oh, then you really meant to do something!”
“She doubts my word! Listen–don’t get refreshments ready, unless you have the stuff to make the taffy. I don’t know whether the girls could bring that or not and the stores are closed. We were just going to order ice-cream sent around, and what else we could get.”
“Listen, Ted, yourself. Mother has the most delicious cake, extra big, because we baked up for company, you know. Have the ice-cream if you must, but not another thing, please.”
What fun it was to plan something with Ted! Betty felt quite grown up. First they had a senior to dinner, now here was a junior, with probably Louise coming and loads of fun ahead!
