Sylvia, too, settled down in her own way, though she often irritated the others with her never-ending chatter, and the way she always tried to take the lead. This was particularly galling to Felicity, Susan and June, who had always been the leaders of their form, and the three of them often found it necessary to put Sylvia in her place. ‘I thought that June was going to explode yesterday, when Sylvia took it upon herself to show her the best way to hold her lacrosse stick,’ said Felicity, smiling, as she remembered. Susan grinned too, and said, ‘She will explode, one day, if Sylvia keeps it up. And I can’t honestly say that I blame her! Sylvia is such an expert on everything—even things she’s not very good at, like lacrosse.’ ‘It’s difficult to dislike her wholeheartedly, though,’ said Felicity, looking thoughtful. ‘She’s annoying, but she doesn’t have any mean, petty faults.’ ‘Unlike dear Olive,’ said Susan, with a sigh. ‘Who has so many mean, petty faults that it is quite impossible to like her!’ ‘I really don’t think I’ve ever met anyone so unfriendly in my life,’ Felicity said.
