`` Thank you for nothing , '' flung back Elfreda . `` Tell the chauffeur to drive past Overton College , '' Grace had requested Tom , and Mrs. Gray had exclaimed in admiration of stately Overton Hall , standing like a sentinel in the midst of the wide campus . The chapel , the library , Greek Hall , Science Hall , in fact , each one of the smaller , but equally ornamental , buildings were duly pointed out and commented upon . Mrs. Gray insisted that they should be her guests at dinner at the `` Tourraine , '' and after dinner they repaired to the cozy sitting room in her suite of rooms for a long , confidential chat , which lasted until after ten o'clock . `` Hurry , girls , '' urged Grace , as they set out for Wayne Hall , after repeated promises to call the next morning and prolonged good nights , `` we may be locked out . That has never happened to me since I came to college . '' `` That is better than being locked in , '' reminded Elfreda grimly .
