o'clock
At school some little mystery was apparently going on . The girls would be talking , then would stop suddenly when she approached . She wondered about it vaguely . It was explained on her last day , when , at four o'clock , she was asked by Theodora Johnson to come into the gymnasium . Her own form and quite a number from the Sixth and from VB and IVA were assembled there . To her surprise she seemed to be the centre of attraction . Everybody looked first at her , and then at Theodora , who began to make a speech .
