The next day there was a mass meeting of the student body. The Main Building was a good deal injured and the sorting, repairing and rearranging the library would be a work of time. The president wondered if loyalty to the best interests of the college would make the students willing to lengthen their Easter recess by a week, and stay on a week longer in June. The president was very popular and the students voted unanimously to do as he wished; but "The Merry Hearts" voted with both hands. "One for ourselves and one for the college," as Mary put it. For was not an extra week the only thing they needed to make their Nassau trip perfect? Mr. Wales had urged them to get permission to stay over, but Mary declared that the mere request would endanger her diploma, and Helen and Eleanor looked so grave over the proposal for different reasons that Betty had said no more about it. And now they had had a present of the extra week. It was all too good to be true.
