Blanche. It may come to-day?
Lucille. It may. And if it does, the members will be notified to attend a midnight meeting in my room.
Blanche. That is satisfactory. The Club accepts with thanks Lucille's invitation. Girls, you must put on your bedroom slippers, and come in perfect silence. If any member is absent, on account of not being able to pass the section teacher's open door, she shall be commiserated, and her share of cake and fruit shall be sent to her next day. Is there any other business?
Morna. I think we ought to consider whether Alice shall be asked to join the Club. Not that I want her, goodness knows, but yesterday Miss Foster spoke to me about her. She said we didn't seem to associate with her much.
Annette. Miss Foster spoke to me too. She thought Alice was a good girl, and only needed to be brought out.
[Several of the girls speak at once, excitedly.]
Helen. Oh no, we don't want her.
Christabel. She would just spoil the Club.
Sophia. To me she is positively disagreeable.
Felicia. She dresses so plainly.
