“It would have had to be favour in your case.”
“That’s not the point!
It’s a different question.
If Miss Duff makes a rule she ought to stick to it.
Why half the girls in the Form might have come up sooner if it hadn’t been for the age limit.”
“You’re right, and I can’t see why Georgina Gascoyne should be so especially noticed.”
“She’s supposed to be clever, I believe.”
“She doesn’t look it! Besides, what do we care whether she’s clever or not?
It’s the injustice of the thing that makes me angry.
A kid like her amongst us seniors!
The idea!”
“Miss Duff may send Georgina up,” declared Fiona Mawson,
“but she can’t make us accept her as one of ourselves.
I vote we send her to Coventry.”
