For goodness' sake, tell us what this is all about! Sue said, dragging her over to the couch.
gpt
We're just dying to know!
human
There isn't much to tell, she said wearily.
gpt
I've been perfectly horrid about Carita being ill, that's all--she's sick, you know. They wouldn't let me see her this morning--that is, they kept me out of the Infirmary, so I sent for Cousin Tracy.
human
You sent for your cousin!
gpt
Yes.
human
How did you send for him?
gpt
Telephoned.
human
I adore your nerve, she said.
gpt
Oh, isn't this lovely!
human
Didn't you know that would get you in trouble?
gpt
I didn't seem to care--this morning. I wish I had.
human
Was Miss North--awful?
gpt
No, she was lovely.
human
Didn't she take away your privileges?
gpt
I don't know yet--she's to tell me later.
human
Well, she will, so cheer up, Sue comforted.
gpt
The worst is yet to come!
human
Oh, Sue, stop! She doesn't know anything about it, Blue Bonnet. I shouldn't worry. Come on over in my room and have some eats.
gpt
Oh, come on! Sue wants to fix your hair. By the way, may I wear your white Peter Tom to-night? I'm wild for one.
human
Thanks, awfully, Annabel said.
gpt
You are welcome to anything of mine, you know. One gets so tired of one's own things. Sue and I change all the time.
human
You mean _you_ do the changing, Sue said, laughing.
gpt
Annabel's worn out every pair of silk stockings I've got--honestly she has! I've got on a pair of Wee Watts' now, and they sag something awful. I think it's so inconsiderate of Wee to be fat. Nobody ever can borrow from her!
human
Let's all change round to-night, Annabel suggested.
gpt
Blue Bonnet can wear my pink organdy, and I'll wear this--
human
Where do I come in?
gpt
At the head of the procession, as usual, dearest, Annabel promised.
human
You can wear that sweet yellow gown of Blue Bonnet's. Can't she?
gpt
I reckon she can, Blue Bonnet said.
human
I've never worn it myself yet.
gpt
Oh, that doesn't matter: she'll christen it.
human
I'm afraid it is a little long for me. Maybe I could take a tuck in it somewhere. Yes, I can; here! See?
