“Has Miss King really said they could come?”
“Yes, Jess told me this morning after chapel. At least, she’s going to try them for three months.”
“They’re going to Germany this summer. I wonder what they’ll learn to do over there!”
“You can depend upon it they’ll learn something! You’ll have enough to do to keep them straight, Priscilla.”
“Oh, dear,” said Priscilla. “Why did you ever choose me monitor? I’ll probably get into more scrapes than any one else, especially with the Blackmores around. I’ll try to be like Mary, but I know I can’t.”
“Oh, won’t we miss Mary and Anne?”
“Anne’s going abroad, too, with her mother; and then she’s going to college in the fall with Mary.”
“College seems so far away, and so big some way. I’m glad we’re going to be at St. Helen’s.”
A bell sounded across the campus.
“It’s time for the Senior song,” said Priscilla. “We must go in a minute. I’m going to take a piece of pine for my Memory Book to remember the last meeting.”
