“Billy looked so funny when he said that,” said Jean to Molly. “Do you suppose he meant anything was going to happen? What could the boys do?”
“I’m sure I don’t know. The boys are going to entertain us when they get their camp finished, I’m sure. But they would send us invitations, I should think.”
“Of course they would,” said Nan, “though, knowing Jimmy, I will say that they can do some very unexpected things.”
“And Jimmy would say the same thing about girls, Nan.”
“Yes, he would. Oh, Jean, I wish we could afford to get our pins now, don’t you? But the books come first, and we’ll need all we can raise for the camping equipment, though we can count on help for that.”
“Never mind, Nan; we might lose our pins camping, and we may change our minds again, and there wouldn’t be any chance to show them to anybody till school begins!”
The girls laughed over Jean’s conclusions and agreed that they had some point. The groups of boys and girls separated for the most part. The next move was taking home the reports, some to praise, some to disappointment, as it always happens. But the Black Wizards and the S. P.’s had some pride of scholarship.
Saturday morning dawned as a beautiful June day can, clear, bright, fragrant with flowers, musical with bird songs and fairly cool with a fresh breeze from the lakes. “I wish we had planned to do something to-day,” said Jean to her father. “We were so lazy yesterday, after Commencement.”
“Drive out into the country with me,” said the judge. “I’m leaving about nine o’clock. Your mother’s going with me. Like to take any of the girls along?”
“Oh, yes, of course. But we can only get five in the back part, three on the back seat.”
