Think what a disgrace that would be for her in her graduating year, too," Grace added.

"She would feel too ashamed to ever again face her best friends." "I have thought of all that, too, and now that we are both of the same mind, let's on to victory," said Eleanor.
The two girls paused and shook hands as they entered the building in which Henry Hammond had his office, then mounted the stairs with the full determination of winning in their cause.
"Good afternoon, Mr.Hammond," called Eleanor, as she opened the door and walked serenely in, followed by Grace.
Henry Hammond started nervously up from his desk at the sound of her voice.

The bland smile with which he greeted her changed to a frown as his eyes rested upon Grace, and he saluted her coldly.
"I am, indeed, honored, this afternoon," he said with sarcasm.

"Miss Harlowe has never before visited my office." "We had a few minutes to spare and thought we'd run in and tell you the news," replied Grace sweetly.

"We have just come from the police station." "Rather a peculiar place for two High School girls to visit, isn't it!" asked the man with a suspicion of a sneer.
"Yes, but we were the heroines in an adventure last night," replied Grace evenly.
