Chapter VI
She flung her head back angrily. Nobody likes to be told she doesn't understand another girl--and the fact that the girl is mighty brilliant doesn't make you feel better about it. "I'll be back in just a moment," said John obliviously, and went with what seemed to Joy unnecessary docility. She stood there alone, her hands clasped hard, her head up--to all appearance a vivid, triumphant little figure. Her heart was beating like mad and her cheeks burnt.
