“Well, what does Doro mean by laughing?” complained Rose-Mary, otherwise Cologne.
“I mean to say,” said Doro, quietly, “that you girls all amuse me. Of course we’ve been pushed this half—and especially this last month.”
“And Olaine has done it!” declared Edna.
“Quite so. It was her business to. Do you realize that is what Mrs. Pangborn hired her for? And it’s too bad she isn’t going to stay.”
“Not going to stay?” cried one.
“Olaine just delighted in pushing us,” observed another.
“Of course she did,” Tavia said to the last speaker. “Doesn’t Doro point out the fact that that was her job here?”
“And isn’t it going to be her job after this term?” demanded Edna Black.
“Oh!” cried another girl. “This combination of Doro Dale and Tavia Travers knows everything!”
“If that is so, they might scatter some of their intelligence among the faithful,” drawled Cologne.
