It was the thought of my mother's awful disappointment that tempted me to lie to Miss Martin, she said.
gpt
It all happened so quickly I scarcely had time to think clearly. I was so afraid of being expelled--I will be now, of course. Miss North is going to bring the whole thing before the Faculty to-morrow.

Oh, no--surely she won't do that! Blue Bonnet cried.
gpt
Did you tell her what you've just told me, Joy?
human
No. I'm not playing for sympathy. I'll take what's coming, if--if only the girls didn't have to know.
gpt
They don't, Blue Bonnet said determinedly.
human
Nobody knows it but Annabel Jackson and myself. Annabel won't tell, and nobody ever knows what goes on in Faculty. Now, what is that?
gpt
Oh, dear, she said,

I forgot all about going to study hour. I just know that's Fraulein.
gpt
You were not in the study hall, Miss Ashe,
human
No, I wasn't. I was engaged.
gpt
You were excused?
human
No--I was not.
gpt
Then I shall haf to report to Miss North.
human
Do, she said.
gpt
I don't mind giving you that little treat.
human
I perfectly abominate that woman, she said, going back to the hearth rug.
gpt
She can anger me quicker than any one I ever knew. I was terribly rude to her; but she is so aggravating. She adores getting something on me.
human
It will make her sleep better, she said to herself as the door closed between them.
gpt
Poor girl; my heart aches for her. If she stays here the girls have just got to be nicer to her--that's all! And she's going to stay--she _must_, even if I have to send for Uncle Cliff to help straighten things out.
