After the severe reprimand she had received it was hardly probable that Evelyn would again misrepresent matters.

Quite by accident the next day she encountered Miss Hilton upon the campus, and the teacher confirmed Evelyn's story by mentioning the dance and inquiring if Grace had been asked to do chaperon duty.

"I am surprised that you weren't," had been Miss Hilton's comment when Grace answered that her services had not been solicited.
Grace had smiled to herself as she went on her way.

She was not in the least surprised at not being invited by Evelyn to play chaperon.

She was glad that she had not been asked.
