“Yes, yes, Betty, for the glory of the Psyche Club!”
“I’ll see what I can do, then, but it’s so much fun that I’m not going to think about competing or I might get scared, and I want to enjoy this carnival.”
“I imagine that Dorothy Appleton will stand well to the front among the best skaters,” said Eloise, “but she can’t do some of the things that you can, Betty.”
“Isn’t Dorothy a fine girl?” said Betty. “I like her better and better the more I see of her.”
“So do I,” declared Lilian, “well enough to ask her to join the Psyche Club some time.”
“I hadn’t thought of that,” said Hilary, in surprise.
“If we asked her roommate, I believe Dorothy would be glad to join, in spite of what Myrtle and some of the others would say. I’m sure she likes us, but Dorothy is too dignified to let us know even if she would like to join us.”
“Wouldn’t that be funny, girls, apropos of our senior elections,” said Cathalina, “electing Dorothy, who was supposed to represent the other crowd, the best of it, and then taking her in with us!”
“Like old politicians again,” suggested Betty.
“But we aren’t,” said Hilary decisively, “and if we are good friends with Dorothy it is because we like her, not to pay off any old grudges!”
