I've got my invitation,

And I,

And I,

I am left out,

Well, Janie, don't fret, said Sarah Butt;

But I did so want to see Betty Vivian! They say she is the life of the whole club.
gpt
Silly! exclaimed Sarah;
human
Yes, but not as she is in the club. They all say that she is too wonderful! Sometimes she sits down cross-legged and tells them stories, and they get so excited they can't move. Oh, I say, do--do look! look what is in the corner of your card, Sarah! 'After supper, story-telling by Betty Vivian. Most of the lights down.' There, isn't it maddening! I do call it a shame; they might have asked me!
gpt
Well, I will tell you all the stories to-morrow,
human
You! The voice was one of scorn.
gpt
Why, you can't tell a story to save your life; whereas Betty, she looks a story herself all the time. She has it in her face. I can never take my eyes off her when she is in the room.
human
Well, I can't help it, answered Sarah.

I am glad I'm going, that is all. The whole school could not be asked, for the simple reason that the room wouldn't hold us. I shall be as green as grass when your invitation comes, and now you must bear your present disappointment.
