"Zora, I want my pin."
Bles started and stared; but Zora eyed her calmly with something like disdain.
"What pin?" she returned, unmoved.
"Zora, don't deny that you took my pin from the desk this afternoon," the teacher commanded severely.
"I didn't say I didn't take no pin."
"Persons who will lie and steal will do anything."
"Why shouldn't people do anything they wants to?"
"And you knew the pin was mine."
"I saw you a-wearing of it," admitted Zora easily.
"Then you have stolen it, and you are a thief."
