In the corridor outside the study hall, Marcia and Constance paused by common consent and faced each other.
"Connie, dear," Marjorie said softly. "There's only a little more than a month of our freshman year left. It isn't very much time, but I believe we won't have to try very hard to make up in happiness for what we've lost."
"I am so happy this morning, and so grateful to you, Marjorie, for all you've done for me, and most of all for your friendship," was Constance's earnest answer. "I hope you will never have cause to question my loyalty and that next year we'll be sophomore chums, tried and true."
"We'll simply have to be," laughed Marjorie, with joyous certainty, "for I don't see how we can very well get along without each other."
