'' The girls hastened to sort out the necessary impedimenta for cricket and tennis , but arranged piles of books with less enthusiasm , the general opinion being that it was rather stiff to be expected to do work at the Camp . They were each allowed to take a book from the school library , and Miss Huntley added a pile of foolscap paper , pens and a big bottle of ink , which the girls devoutly hoped might get broken on the way and thus save them the labor of writing exercises . They had dinner and a four o'clock tea at school , after which meal Miss Bishop , who seemed to have spent most of the day at the telephone , announced that arrangements were now completed , and that they must get ready to start . Great was the excitement when at five o'clock a motor char-à-banc made its appearance . The sixteen `` contacts '' and Miss Huntley took their places , their hand-bags , which had been sent from their respective homes during the course of the day , were stowed away with the rest of their luggage inside a motor ` bus , and the company , feeling much more like a picnic party than possibly infected cases , drove merrily away for their period of quarantine .
