“Honestly, Virgie,” said Isabel one evening, “I believe it is easier to study with just you and me here. It’s such a temptation to talk when there are more of us.”

Virginia looked up from her book with an amused glance.

“I know what you are thinking,” continued Isabel with a laugh, “but I only break out by spells. I wonder what Olivia and Avalon are doing tonight.”

“Getting lessons too, I suspect.”

“Yes, Olivia wrote that she likes her school out there pretty well, but misses all of us girls. There is her letter, Virgie. I forgot to tell you to read it. She says that the girls are crazy about her butterfly pin and want to start a Psyche Club there. And she wants us to write and tell her every single thing about Greycliff, who is back and who isn’t, and where the Grant Academy boys are, if we know, and everything. I wonder what she has done with her fur coat!”

Both girls laughed as they recalled how eager Olivia had been for the new experiences of the North, and how she had run to her closet for the coat as soon as the fire alarm rang, not long after her arrival.
