The rest of the evening may be truly said to have belonged to Fanny . Even the Seniors ' class song was hurriedly applauded , so that she might return to the platform . The girls made her sit down at the piano when the carols were over , and sing them song after song . At nine o'clock , Betty insisted that she stop long enough to have some refreshments . `` You all do n't really think I can sing , do you ? '' she asked seriously , when they had joined Polly and Lois and Angela . `` Of course we do , '' everybody told her with enthusiasm .
