Their spokeswoman, unfolding a large sheet of paper, proceeded to read the indictment.
_This is to tell all whom it may concern that Mabel Hughes, having broken every rule of decent and orderly behavior, and being no longer worthy of the name of gentlewoman, is here arraigned on the following charges:_ _1.

That she habitually takes advantage of and ill-treats the juniors when opportunity occurs._ _2.

That she cheats abominably at her work._ _3.

That she endeavors to persuade others to cheat._ _4.

That she degrades the name of the Villa Camellia by receiving letters which are thrown to her over the wall, and by handing answers to them on her way to church._ Mabel, who had smiled scornfully at the first three charges, changed color at the fourth.
"What do you know about letters ?" she challenged sharply.
"We know all," ventured the solemn voice.
