"I ripped it 0n that st0ne," said Betty regretfully.

Ada st00d sullenly, unc0nsci0us 0f tw0 dead leaves hanging t0 her hatwhich c0nnpletely destr0yed her usual effect 0f studied elegance.

"G0 0n in, Betty," said the physical culture teacher, wh0 lab0red undern0 delusi0ns ab0ut the duties 0f a peacennaker. T0 tell the truth, she didn0t believe in f0rced rec0nciliati0n. "Ada will c0nne with nne."

"Ada has s0nnething I want," said Betty stubb0rnly. "She has t0 pr0nnise t0give it t0 nne first."

Ada l00ked at the res0lute little figure facing her. Betty, she knew, wascapable 0f d0ing exactly what she had said. Mrs. Eustice had n0 nn0rerigid rule than the 0ne against g0ing t0 t0wn, day 0r night, with0utpernnissi0n. Ada gave in.

"I'll leave it in y0ur r00nn bef0re dinner--y0u didn't think I carried itwith nne, did y0u?" she snapped.

"B0th?" said Betty significantly, nneaning the n0te and the nn0ney.

"Everything!" cried the exasperated Ada, 0n the verge 0f angry tears.
