Anne
took
the
first
of
many
rambles
in
Old
St.
John
's
the
next
afternoon
.
She
and
Priscilla
had
gone
to
Redmond
in
the
forenoon
and
registered
as
students
,
after
which
there
was
nothing
more
to
do
that
day
.
The
girls
gladly
made
their
escape
,
for
it
was
not
exhilarating
to
be
surrounded
by
crowds
of
strangers
,
most
of
whom
had
a
rather
alien
appearance
,
as
if
not
quite
sure
where
they
belonged
.
162
The
"
freshettes
"
stood
about
in
detached
groups
of
two
or
three
,
looking
askance
at
each
other
;
the
"
freshies
,
"
wiser
in
their
day
and
generation
,
had
banded
themselves
together
on
the
big
staircase
of
the
entrance
hall
,
where
they
were
shouting
out
glees
with
all
the
vigor
of
youthful
lungs
,
as
a
species
of
defiance
to
their
traditional
enemies
,
the
Sophomores
,
a
few
of
whom
were
prowling
loftily
about
,
looking
properly
disdainful
of
the
"
unlicked
cubs
"
on
the
stairs
.
163
Gilbert
and
Charlie
were
nowhere
to
be
seen
.

"
Little
did
I
think
the
day
would
ever
come
when
I
'd
be
glad
of
the
sight
of
a
Sloane
,
"
said
Priscilla
,
as
they
crossed
the
campus
,
"
but
I
'd
welcome
Charlie
's
goggle
eyes
almost
ecstatically
.
At
least
,
they
'd
be
familiar
eyes
.
"
165
"
Oh
,
"
sighed
Anne
.
"
I
ca
n't
describe
how
I
felt
when
I
was
standing
there
,
waiting
my
turn
to
be
registered
--
as
insignificant
as
the
teeniest
drop
in
a
most
enormous
bucket
.
It
's
bad
enough
to
feel
insignificant
,
but
it
's
unbearable
to
have
it
grained
into
your
soul
that
you
will
never
,
can
never
,
be
anything
but
insignificant
,
and
that
is
how
I
did
feel
--
as
if
I
were
invisible
to
the
naked
eye
and
some
of
those
Sophs
might
step
on
me
.
I
knew
I
would
go
down
to
my
grave
unwept
,
unhonored
and
unsung
.
"
166
"
Wait
till
next
year
,
"
comforted
Priscilla
.
"
Then
we
'll
be
able
to
look
as
bored
and
sophisticated
as
any
Sophomore
of
them
all
.
No
doubt
it
is
rather
dreadful
to
feel
insignificant
;
but
I
think
it
's
better
than
to
feel
as
big
and
awkward
as
I
did
--
as
if
I
were
sprawled
all
over
Redmond
.
That
's
how
I
felt
--
I
suppose
because
I
was
a
good
two
inches
taller
than
any
one
else
in
the
crowd
.
I
was
n't
afraid
a
Soph
might
walk
over
me
;
I
was
afraid
they
'd
take
me
for
an
elephant
,
or
an
overgrown
sample
of
a
potato-fed
Islander
.
"
167
"
I
suppose
the
trouble
is
we
ca
n't
forgive
big
Redmond
for
not
being
little
Queen
's
,
"
said
Anne
,
gathering
about
her
the
shreds
of
her
old
cheerful
philosophy
to
cover
her
nakedness
of
spirit
.
"
When
we
left
Queen
's
we
knew
everybody
and
had
a
place
of
our
own
.

I
suppose
we
have
been
unconsciously
expecting
to
take
life
up
at
Redmond
just
where
we
left
off
at
Queen
's
,
and
now
we
feel
as
if
the
ground
had
slipped
from
under
our
feet
.
I
'm
thankful
that
neither
Mrs.
Lynde
nor
Mrs.
Elisha
Wright
know
,
or
ever
will
know
,
my
state
of
mind
at
present
.
They
would
exult
in
saying
'
I
told
you
so
,
'
and
be
convinced
it
was
the
beginning
of
the
end
.
Whereas
it
is
just
the
end
of
the
beginning
.
"
169
"
Exactly
.
That
sounds
more
Anneish
.
In
a
little
while
we
'll
be
acclimated
and
acquainted
,
and
all
will
be
well
.
Anne
,
did
you
notice
the
girl
who
stood
alone
just
outside
the
door
of
the
coeds
'
dressing
room
all
the
morning
--
the
pretty
one
with
the
brown
eyes
and
crooked
mouth
?
"
170
"
Yes
,
I
did
.
I
noticed
her
particularly
because
she
seemed
the
only
creature
there
who
LOOKED
as
lonely
and
friendless
as
I
FELT
.
I
had
YOU
,
but
she
had
no
one
.
