noon on Monday
Nellie Agnew , the doctor 's daughter , and secretary of the club , had sent to a publisher for copies of plays that could be put on by amateurs , and interest in the affair waxed high already . The principal point of decision was the identity of the play they were to produce . Mr. Sharp and the other members of the school faculty had agreed to let the girls act , and the big hall , or auditorium , could be used for the production . At noon on Monday the girls interested in the performance met in the principals office to decide upon the play . `` And of course , '' grumbled Bobby Hargrew to the Lockwood twins , Dora and Dorothy , `` all the teachers have got to come and interfere . We ca n't do a sol-i-ta-ry thing without Gee Gee , or Miss Black , or some of them , poking their noses into it . '' `` You ca n't say that Professor Dimp pokes his nose into our affairs , '' laughed Dora .
