Tom Gray would bring Arnold Evans.
Hippy, David and Reddy would join them in New York.
Then the five boys would repair to the hotel where the girls were to stop, accompanied by Mrs.Gibson and James Gardiner, who was again invited to make the number even. Intense excitement prevailed in school when it was learned that the Phi Sigma Tau were to go to New York to see Anne as "Rosalind," and the five girls were carried upon the top wave of popularity. Marian and Eleanor alone remained aloof, evincing no outward interest in the news, although both thought rather enviously of the good time in New York that awaited the girls they had repudiated. The eventful Saturday came at last, and the five girls, chaperoned by Mrs.Gibson, with James Gardiner for a bodyguard, boarded the same express that had carried Anne off and were whirled away to the metropolis. As soon as they arrived in New York they were conveyed by taxicabs to their hotel and on entering the reception room were hailed with delight by the boys, who had arrived only half an hour before.
While they were busily engaged in exchanging news, Anne hurried in from a rehearsal, was seized by Grace, then passed from one to the other until, freeing herself, she said, laughing: "Do let me stand still for a second.
