“I have decided that your punishment this time is to be a severe one,” she said sternly. “You are to be sent away to school. We will see if that can save you.”
“School? Boarding school?”
“Yes.”
“Not a girls’ school?”
“I suppose you’d prefer a boys’ school?” Max said, sarcastically.
“Yes, I would,” her daughter answered, literally.
“There’s no use!” exclaimed Mrs. Bryce. “Take her away, Wally. I shall decide upon a school—a very strict one—and she shall be sent there next month. It is evident Miss Watts cannot cope with her.”
