They found out that Virginia had invited me to the dance, and told her the whole story.

She was horrid to me, and hardly spoke to me all the way to the gymnasium or coming home.

They must have told every girl I know, for not one of them would come near me.

I had to sit around all evening, for I didn't know half a dozen girls, and you three were too busy to look at me.

You can imagine I had a slow old time, and I was glad to get home.
