Laurel Hall for aye!
Jo and Sadie! Jo and Sadie!
They have won the day!
Jo and Sadie! Jo and Sadie!
Ray! Ray! Ray!"
It was a great day for these two girls of Woodford. They had distinguished themselves on the lake as Nan had distinguished herself on the tennis courts. They felt that Laurel Hall was proud of them and they were supremely happy.
It was only at night as they undressed slowly, still talking over the exciting event of the day, that Nan struck a discordant note.
"Kate and Lottie are more furious with us than ever," she said. "After you had won I saw them go off together, whispering. I saw them look in our direction several times, and I know that they were plotting something. We'll have to watch out for those girls more than ever now!"
About three days after the boat races the girls were again out on the lake when they met Frank Gibbs, Fred Fielding, and Dodd Martyn, the boys who had figured in their adventure on Huckleberry Island.
The young fellows were vastly excited.
