"I'll venture to say that when the members of the faculty were students they were just as careful not to tell tales as are the girls here to-day.

Of course, if students are reported to them, they are obliged to take action in the matter, but I'm sure that they'd rather not hear about the girls' petty difficulties." "'Petty difficulties!'" almost screamed Elfreda.

"Well, I like your impudence." Jerking herself from the girls' embrace she stood up and walked to the other side of the room.
