There were a few introductions - most of the girls I had met before. Miss C. seemed so glum & I was so rattled that it was rather awkward. Ah! for something to say! Topics of conversation were at a premium just then. Somehow or other I found myself saying strange, unnatural things - but, then - it was something. Such frigidity I never felt. I don't know what was the matter. She was evidently angry at something. One insinuating remark she made about not having seen me much, but most probably it was because Jessie hadn't spoken to her.
