"Who's there?" demanded Doug.
"Nobody. She says we can dance if we want to."
There was a silence, broken after a moment by Jimmy Day. "You can't go,
Maud."
"I am going if you do!" exclaimed Maud. "Make him let me go, Doug."
"What's the use of being so fussy about poor old Inez?" asked Scott.
"What harm is there in a dance at her place?"
"I don't see why, if my mother don't stop me, yours should stop you," protested Judith.
"O, your mother couldn't boss a day-old calf!" said Jimmy impatiently.
"Don't you knock my mother!" shrilled Judith.
"Your mother—" began Maud.
"Dry up, Maud, or I'll smack your mouth!" ordered Douglas.
