And vho was that friend with her? He is supposed to be sixteen years old. (I guess that is why Bertha wanted to look so old.) It couldn’t be Red from Duncannon? Or could it?

Have you noticed how they hold their hands? This is so everyone can see their rings. The Junior Class would like soneone to solve this problem. Why are the same four always absent at the same time? When the one is absent, you can usually be sure that the other three will be absent. (The four happen to be June Bowers, Mary R-apsome, Miriam R-rap, and Charles Deary). After the 11-A class finished their french semi-examination, Robert Clark remarked, Why did the aunt have to invite Charles end me to go for a ride? By the vay, the French examination h:d included a translation about an aunt inviting two boys. Robert thought that if she would not have invited the boys they would not have any French to translate.
