Sue's perfectly furious at Deborah, Annabel said, catching up with Blue Bonnet on the way to chapel.

She won't speak to her this morning. I ran in to borrow a tie a minute before breakfast, and Wee had been crying. Poor old Wee! I feel sorry for her. She's such a good sport generally. I reckon she can't help being afraid of mice. Some people are, you know--awfully!
human
Do you think anybody knows about what happened?
gpt
I don't know. Miss North acted awfully queer this morning. One of the girls asked if anybody heard that scream in the night, and the funniest look came over Miss North's face. To tell the truth, I think the teachers know all about it and the joke's on us. I haven't been so scared in an age. It's pretty risky for a Senior to be up to such high jinks.
human
Will Miss North do anything about it, do you think?
gpt
No--I hardly think so. She's pretty lenient to the 'Lambs.' We help support her pet charity. She's terribly interested in settlement work. Anyway, I don't believe she half minds a little innocent fun; but, of course, she couldn't sanction it openly. Annabel stifled a yawn.

I'm so sleepy I don't know how I'm ever going to get through this day. I scarcely slept a wink all night. I got to worrying about that candle we left burning in the sky parlor; and finally, after numerous and painful visions of the building burning down at my own personal expense, I got up, felt my way along those dark halls, and put it out.

You went back alone!
human
I did. I think myself I deserve a medal--don't you?
gpt
You deserve several, Annabel. It was too plucky for anything. Why didn't Ruth go with you?
human
Oh, Ruth was asleep. It seemed a pity to wake her. I didn't mind much. I never was afraid of the dark.
