"Well, she did get it—and it's my prize, and what are you going to do about it?"
"I don't know, I'm sure. Of course I oughtn't to have let her copy—but I thought it wouldn't hurt any one."
"You'll have to tell Miss Vinton now. It's not fair I should be cheated out of the prize I've honestly won, and I'd worked so hard for it too. I can't think how I came to make those mistakes."
"I wish to peace you hadn't!"
"But, anyhow, Alice could never have got it if she hadn't cheated, and you must tell Miss Vinton."
"Oh! that's too much," I cried. "It's for Alice to tell Miss Vinton, I can't. I'm willing to tell Alice she must."
"And if she won't?"
"Then I don't quite see what's to be done."
"You'll let her keep my prize?"
"Well, you can tell Miss Vinton if you like."
