“So,” thought Nancy, “you’re either taking her up to our room—which is against regulations, or she lives in the hotel herself. In either case I mean to find out where she goes.”
Nancy had no time to let Mabel and Shorty know she was going up, but made a dive for the elevator as the passengers crammed in. Their room was on the eighth floor, but to her relief Tini’s friend got off at the seventh.
Several other nurses got off at the next floor with Nancy and Tini, but the two girls found themselves side by side as they approached their own door.
“Mabel certainly embarrassed me in the restaurant this noon,” said Tini in an ugly mood.
“Oh, you know Mabel!” exclaimed Nancy. She slipped her key in the lock and opened the door.
“She’s very common and loud at times!” snapped Tini.
“But with a heart of gold,” stated Nancy. “I’d trust Mabel with my own soul.”
“Hump!” grunted Tini as she tossed her cap to the bed.
Nancy sat down on her cot and slipped her aching feet into her bedroom slippers.
“That was a beautifully dressed woman you were with. Where’d you meet her?” asked Nancy.
