AN ACCIDENT
"Aren't you glad that we are only going back to
school for a little while?" cried Billie Bradley, as she
gave a little exultant skip. "Suppose it were fall and
we were beginning high—"
"Billie, stop it," commanded Laura Jordon, turning a
pair of very blue and very indignant eyes upon her
chum. "I thought we were going to forget school for
a little while."
"Well, we're not going back for anything I forgot,"
Billie was asserting when Violet Farrington, the
third of the trio, interposed:
"If you two are going to quarrel on a day like this,
I'm going home."
"Who said we were quarreling?" cried Billie, adding
with a chuckle: "We're just having what Miss
Beggs" (Miss Beggs being their English teacher)
"would call an 'amiable discussion.'"
"Listen to the bright child!" cried Laura mockingly.
"I don't see how you ever get that way, Billie."
"Neither do I," replied Billie, adding with a chuckle
as they turned to stare at her: "Just natural talent, I
guess."
