“There is one thing perfectly1 delightful2 about boarding schools,” declared Tavia, “when the term closes we can go away, and leave it in another world. Now, at Dalton, we would have to see the old schoolhouse every time we went to Daly’s for a pound of butter, a loaf of bread—and oh, yes! I almost forgot! Mom said we could get some bologna. Whew! Don’t your mouth water, Dorothy? We always did get good bologna at Daly’s!”
“Bologna!” echoed Dorothy. “As if the young ladies of Glenwood School would disgrace their appetites with such vulgar fare!”
At this she snatched up an empty cracker3 box, almost devouring4 its parifine paper, in hopes of finding a few more crumbs5, although Tavia had poured the last morsels6 of the wafers down her own throat the night before this conversation took place. Yes, Tavia had even made a funnel7 of the paper and “took” the powdered biscuits as doctors administer headache remedies.
[2]
“All the same,” went on Tavia, “I distinctly remember that you had a longing8 for the skin of my sausage, along with the end piece, which you always claimed for your own share.”
“Oh, please stop!” besought9 Dorothy, “or I shall have to purloin10 my hash from the table to-night and stuff it into—”
“The armlet of your new, brown kid gloves,” finished Tavia. “They’re the very color of a nice, big, red-brown bologna, and I believe the inspiration is a direct message. ‘The Evolution of a Bologna Sausage,’ modern edition, bound in full kid. Mine for the other glove. Watch all the hash within sight to-night, and we’ll ask the girls to our clam-bake.”
