"I've made a discovery as thrilling as Roger's about Fräulein!" she cried.
"What? Who is it about? Tell us."
"It's about Mademoiselle Millerand."
"Your French teacher?" asked Mrs. Emerson.
"She was new at school last year and you've heard us say she's the most fascinating little black-eyed creature."
"Perhaps she can't talk fast!" added Roger.
"What's the story about her?" demanded Ethel Brown.
"It's not a romantic story like Fräulein's; that is, there's no betrothed on the other side that she's crazy to get to; but she's going over to join the French Red Cross."
"That little thing!" cried Roger. "Why she doesn't look as if she had strength enough to last out a week!"
"She says she's had a year's training in nursing and that a nurse is taught to conserve her strength. She hopes she'll be sent to the front."
