I beg to propose Ingred Saxon." "And I beg to second that!" called Nora.
"Hands up, those in favor!" Such a forest of arms immediately waved in the air that (though in strict order) it seemed hardly necessary for Avis to call out: "Those against!" No opposition hands appeared, so without further discussion the election was carried.

are going to fight like Kilkenny cats over Magsie and Barbara." "There'll be some hullabaloo in several of the forms, I expect." "Thanks awfully for electing me," replied Ingred.

"I suppose I ought to make a speech, but I really don't know what to say!" "You've got to say it all the same!" laughed Verity.
