GLORIA
AT BOARDING SCHOOL
CHAPTER I
MIXED BAGGAGE
The dark haired girl, sitting on the cretonne couch, chuckled.
“So this is boarding school!”
No one heard her, the little clock on the corner shelf ticked away and never “let on,” for new girls coming to that room were no novelty to the clock. They came and went yearly, sometimes oftener, and what difference did it make that this one chuckled? Those who sighed, or even those who wept, always got over it in time. No doubt the dark haired girl would get over her rather cynical defiance of Miss Alton’s rules for lady-like deportment. Also, she might in time learn to sit on a chair properly.
