Elinor gave a gently contemptuous sniff as she stowed it away in its corner. "No doubt—with all those experienced students competing! Some of them have been there ten years, Miss Pat. I simply haven't the ghost of a show, and you know it." "To see Dr. Etwald, I suppose?" "What did she do?" asked Patricia eagerly..
