"Mia, are you awake? Mia darling!
Gee, sweetheart, stir
yourself and blink an eye! What a retard you are! Do you want shaking?
Wake up,
you slut, can't you?"
"I've been awake since five
o'clock, and there’s no
point thumping me in the back," grunted an injured voice from under the
duvet. "It's too early yet to get up, and I wish you'd leave me
alone."
The huskiness and general
chokiness of the tone were
unmistakable. Ruby leaned over and took a keen survey of that portion
of her
sister's face which was not buried in the pillow.
"Oh! The atmosphere's damp, is
it?" she remarked.
"Mia, you're catatonic! For fuck’s sake brace up, child, and turn off
the
water-works! I thought you had more courage. If you're going to arrive
at Cedar
Pastures with a red nose and your eyes all bunged up, I'll disown you,
or lose
you on the way. Crystal clear, I will! I'll not let you start in a new
school
nicknamed 'Cry Baby', so there! Have an E?"
Mia sat up in bed, and arrested
her tears sufficiently to
accept the creature comfort offered her. As its consistency was
decidedly of a
stick-jaw nature, the mingled sucking and sobbing which followed
produced a weird
combination.
"You sound like an alien monster,"
Ruby assured
her airily. "Fuck off! I call it a stunt to be going to Cedar Pastures.
I
mean to have a fucking A time there, and no mistake!"
"It's all very well for you!"
sighed Mia
dolefully. "You've been at College before, and I haven't; and you are
not
shy, and you always get on with people. You know I'm a prude, and I
hate
strangers. I shall just suffer till the vacation. There’s no point
telling me
to cheer up, for there's nothing to cheer up about."
Ruby pulled a two headed dildo out
from behind her. Mia's
eyes widened.
"What are you gonna do with that?"
"You'll find out soon baby" Ruby
said with a wide
grin.
Ruby locked the door behind her
and strolled over to Mia.
She kissed her hard on the lips then parted them with her tongue. They
kissed
for what seemed like forever while their hands roamed each other’s
bodies. Ruby
took Mia's pyjamas off. Then kissed down her neck and to her nipples.
She circled each one with her
tongue then nibbled the nipple
like she was hungry for milk. Mia was in heaven. She was under Ruby's
Spanish
spell.
Ruby stripped her of her pants
too. She backed her up
against the head rest and kneeled down between her legs she put one up
on her
shoulder and went to work on Mia's pussy. It was a good thing she was
up
against the head rest because she would have surely fallen to the floor.
"Gooood! Ruby you’re good"
Ruby reached around back and
wiggled a finger into Mia's
tight ass causing Mia to moan loud enough for people six floors up to
hear her.
Mia couldn't hold on much longer.
Her moaning got louder and
longer.
“Oooohhhhh Ruby I'm about to
ccuuuuuummm"
After cumming Mia collapsed to the
floor that was the
greatest pleasure she had ever felt. All of Mia's moaning had made
Ruby's pussy
flood more than ever she wanted to cum. She helped Mia back up on to
the bed then
she hopped on to the bed next to Mia.
"Your turn" Mia said shyly
She laid Ruby back and climbed on
top of her and started
kissing her way down her body. She stopped at Ruby's small breast and
devoured
her nipples.
“Oooohhhhh Mia! Take your time"
She played there for a little
while then headed further
south to her belly then to her pussy. She entered two fingers in the
soaking
wet hole. Then she attacked Ruby's clit. She didn't know what to do she
could
only do what she would want done to her. Ruby's screams told her she
had to be
doing something right.
“Aaaahhhhhhh aaaahhhhhhh. God!
Ruby who taught you sooooo
well."
“You did, baby" Mia said as she
looked up to Ruby's
eyes. She dove right back in and ate some more.
"Let's try this" Ruby's said as
she arose with the
two headed dildo.
"Okay Ruby I trust you to take
care of me" Mia
said.
Ruby sat up and placed one end of
the dildo in her pussy
then she slowly pushed the other end into Mia's pussy. She let out a
slow moan.
They started to fuck each other in a scissors position. They started
off slow
and sped up. Their moans filled the room.
“Oooohhhhh Ruby, fuck me harder."
“Aaahhhhhhh god I'm gonna cum"
Ruby panted out in a
slow voice
“Meeee toooo babbbbbyy"
“Aahhhhhhhhhhhhh" The sounds of
hot fucking and cumming
filled the room.
Ruby and Mia felt their juices
flow out onto the top of the mattress.
Ruby
said, "Guess
we better get cleaned up"
“I don't think so baby. I’ve still
got many more times to
fuck with you while I'm here.”
In the bedroom where the two girls
lay every preparation had
been made for a journey. Two new suitcases stood side by side, filled
to the
brim, except for dildos and a few other items, which must be put in at
the
last. Weeks of concentrated thought and practical work on the part of
Mom, two girlfriends,
and an interior designer had preceded the packing of those cases, for
the
requirements of Cedar Pastures seemed numerous, and the list of
essential
garments went on forever. There were school skirts and blouses, gym
slips, rubber
dresses, evening wear and party frocks, to say nothing of underclothes,
and
such details as gloves, shoes, ties, ribbons, and handcuffs,
butt-plugs, lubricants,
books, photos, and knick-knacks. Two hand-bags, each containing
necessaries for
the first night, stood by the suitcases, and two laptops, with two
hand-cuffs,
were already strapped up with raincoats and winter coats.
For both the girls this morning
would make a new and very
important chapter in the story of their lives. Ruby had, indeed,
already been
at College, but it was a comparatively small establishment, not to be
named in
the same breath with a place as important as Cedar Pastures, and giving
only a
foretaste of those experiences which she expected to encounter in a
wider
circle. She had been tolerably popular at Melissa Gates High, but she
had made
several mistakes which she was determined not to repeat, and meant to
be
careful as to the first impressions which she produced upon her new
schoolfellows. Ruby, at fifteen and a half, was a somewhat
problematical
character. In her childhood she had been aptly described as "a little
madam", and it was owing to the very turbulent effect of her presence
in
the family that she had been packed off early to school, "to find her
level
among other girls, and leave a little peace at home", as Aunt Annette
expressed it. "Finding one's level" is generally rather a stormy
process; so, after four years of give-and-take at Melissa Gates High,
Ruby was,
on the whole, not at all sorry to leave, and transfer her energies to
another
sphere. She meant well, but she was always cock-sure that she was
right, and
though this line of action may serve with weaker characters, it is
liable to
cause friction when practised upon equals or elders whose views are
also
self-opinionated. As regards looks, Ruby could score. Her clear-cut
features,
fresh complexion, and frank, grey eyes were decidedly prepossessing,
and her
pigtail had been the longest and thickest and glossiest in the whole of
Melissa
Gates High. She was clever, if she chose to work, though apt to argue
with her
teachers; and keen at games, if she could win, but showed an unsporting
tendency to lose her temper if the odds were against her. Such was
Ruby—crude,
impetuous, and full of overflowing spirits, with many good qualities
and
certain disagreeable traits, eager to loose anchor and sail away from
the
harbour of home and the narrow waters of Melissa Gates High into the
big,
untried sea of Cedar Pastures College.
Two sisters surely never presented
a greater contrast than
the Wienerschnitzel girls. Mia, at thirteen, was a shy, retiring,
amiable
little person, with an unashamed weakness for Barbie Dolls and Teddy
bears,
specimens of which, in various sizes, decorated the mantelpiece of her
bedroom.
She was accustomed to give way, under plaintive protest, to Ruby's
masterful
disposition, and, as a rule, played second fiddle with a good grace.
She was
not at all clever or imaginative, but very affectionate, and had been
the pet
of the family at home. She was a neat, pretty little thing, with big
blue eyes
and arched eyebrows and silky curls and she had a pathetic way of
saying,
"Oh, Ruby!" when snubbed by her elder sister. According to Aunt
Annette,
if Ruby needed to "find her level", Mia required to be "well
shaken up". She was dreamy and unobservant, slow in her ways, and not
much
interested in any special subject. Ruby's cherished ambitions were
unknown to Mia,
who liked to plod along in an easy fashion, without taking very much
trouble.
Her school teacher had found it difficult to rouse any enthusiasm in
her for
her work. She frankly hated lessons.
It was a subject of congratulation
to Mrs. Wienerschnitzel
that the two girls would not be in the same house at Cedar Pastures.
She
considered that Mia's character had no chance for development under the
shadow
of Ruby's overbearing ways, and that among companions of her own age
she might
perhaps find a few congenial friends who would help her to realize that
she had
entered her teens, and would interest her in girlish matters. Poor Mia
by no
means shared her Mom's satisfaction at the arrangements for her future.
She
would have preferred to be with Ruby, and was appalled at the idea of
being
obliged to face a houseful of strangers. She met with little sympathy
from her
own family in this respect.
"Do you all the good in the world,
sweetheart!"
preached Freddy, an authority of eleven, with three years of
primary-school
experience behind him. "I felt a bit weird myself, you know, when I
first
went to Norton Park Primary, but one soon gets over that. You'll shake
down."
"I don't want to shake down,"
bleated Mia.
"It's a shame I should have to go at all! You can't any of you
understand
how I feel. You're all cunts!"
"They'll allow you a bucket to
weep into for the first
day or two, poor old Bunting!" said Baz consolingly. "It won't be so
much kindness on their part as a desire to save the carpets—salt water
takes
the colour out of things so. But I fancy they'll limit you to a week's
wailing,
and if you don't turn off the tap after that, they'll send for a
doctor, who'll
prescribe Turkey rhubarb and ginseng mixed with cocaine. It's a stock
school
prescription for shirking; harmless, you know, but particularly nasty;
you'd
have the taste in your mouth for days. Oh, cheer up, for fuck’s sake!
Look
here: if I'm really sent to the camp at Burridge, I'll come and look
you up,
and take you out to a bar somewhere. How would that suit your ladyship?"
"Would you really? Will you
promise?"
"Jesus, I will!"
"Then I don't mind quite as much
as I did, though I
still hate the thought of school," conceded Mia.
Presently, Baz had somewhat of a
"big"
problem. His cock was banging against
his big sister's cute little butt, and leaking clear slippery fluid
down into
the crack of the little girl's ass.
Mia enjoyed the feel of her brother's cock sliding
against
her rounded little ass.
"Mia. My
cock is
getting in the way," said Baz. "Can I put
it down between your legs for a minute?" Baz
held his breath, waiting for his big
sister to answer.
"Well, OK. Just
for a minute. Just don't get any of your
cum in me," agreed Mia.
Baz continued rubbing her back,
while he started sliding his
big cock down between the girl's legs. The
boy kept on sliding his cock past the clenched lips of
his sister's
vagina. Each time the tip of the boy's
cock slipped by the entrance to his sister's vagina, he would push the
head in
a little, and let a bubble of slippery liquid lubricate the girl's
little hole.
Mia felt her brother pressing the
head of his prick into her
now slippery hole. "Stop it!"
she said. "You almost went inside
me that time."
Baz resumed sliding his cock past
the lips of his big
sister's vagina. "Don't you like
it?" he inquired.
"Yes, but we shouldn't," she
replied. Still, Mia began working her hips
in time
with the sliding of her little brother's cock. She
enjoyed the slip-sliding feel of her brother's penis
rubbing against
her pussy lips.
After waiting a bit, Baz once
again pushed the head of his
cock against the opening to his big sister's vagina.
This time, Mia didn't stop him, as
Baz let several big
spurts of pre-cum lubricate his big sister's hole.
"You aren't cumming inside me, are
you?" inquired Mia,
worriedly.
"Just making it easier for my cock
to slide, while I
rub your back," reassured Baz.
The next time that Baz felt the
tip of his cock reach his
sister's hole, he pushed in a little harder. There
was a popping sensation, and the little boy felt a
ring of muscles
slip over the head of his prick.
"You little bastard.
You slipped your cock inside me, didn't you?"
There was no heat in the little girl's
accusation, and she didn't pull away.
"I've just got the tip in," lied
Baz.
"It feels like more than just the
tip," grumbled Mia,
but said no more, as she relaxed into her brother's continuing backrub.
Baz continued to rub his sister's
back. Only now, he was sliding the tip of
his cock
in and out of the lips of his big sister's hole, enjoying the
sensations, each
time the muscles of the girl's vagina snapped around the head of his
prick.
Mia knew what her brother was
doing, but was enjoying
herself too much to object. After a
short while, Mia started to push back at her little brother. More and more of the little boy's cock slid
into his sister's belly, until the head of the boy's prick rested
against his sister's
unbroken hymen.
"You'd better not knock me up, you
little
bastard," said Mia, pushing back at her little brother.
Baz pushed his cock in and out of
his sister, until he knew
he was close to cumming. "Stop Mia!"
he said. "I'm almost ready to
cum."
"Don't cum in me!" the girl cried. "I don't want to get pregnant!"
"Just wait," he continued. "No don't pull off. Just
hold on. If you pull off, I might cum
inside you before you get all
the way off. Just hold still.
Don't move!" Baz grit his
teeth, and fought down the
sensations that almost had him squirting his seed all over the inside
of his
own sister's tight little vagina. Shortly,
the boy felt a slight releasing sensation in his
cock. He didn't know if what he released
inside his
sister was cum, or just more lubricating fluid, but his prick was still
hard,
and the boy no longer felt like he was going to ejaculate sticky white
baby-juice all over the inside of his big sister's tight little belly.
"Ooooh. OK,"
he said. "We can
continue now." With this, Baz
started fucking his sister, sliding his cock all the way up to her
unbroken
cherry, and all the way back out. Back
and forth. Back and forth.
Baz was really fucking his sister now.
After
a while, it
got to be too much for Mia. "Stop," she
said.
"Huh?" Baz asked.
"I want to turn over, so that we
can do it right,"
she explained.
"Are you sure?"
Baz wanted to know.
"Uhuh. If
we are
going to fuck, let's do it right." With
this, the little girl turned over, and placed her
brother's big
cock against the opening to her vagina. "Now
push," she commanded.
Baz pushed, and his cock slid all
the way up inside his
sister's belly with a rush. There was a
snapping sensation, and Mia felt her hymen break. Then
the little girl started to climax,
knowing that she had her own handsome brother's big baby-making cock
stuck all
the way up inside her tight little belly, where it belonged.
The Wienerschnitzels generally described themselves as
"a large and rambling family, guaranteed sound, and quiet in harness,
but
capable of taking fences if required". Felicia, the eldest, had been
married a year ago, Evan was in the Navy, Lance was serving "somewhere
in
France"; Baz, who had just left school, was going into military
training,
and after Ruby and Mia followed Freddy, Wayne, and Chantilly. Ruby and
Mia
always declared that if they could have been consulted in the matter of
precedence, they would not have chosen to arrive in the exact centre of
a big
family. Felicia, as eldest, and Chantilly, as youngest, occupied
definite and
recognized positions, but middle girls rarely receive as much
attention. Mia,
indeed, had claimed a certain share of petting, but Ruby considered
herself
badly treated by the Fates.
"I wish I were the only one!" she
assured the
others. "Think how I'd be appreciated then!"
"We'll swap you with pleasure,
madam, if you
wish," returned Baz ironically. "I should suggest an advertisement
such as this: 'Wanted situation as only daughter in eligible family,
eight
brothers and sisters given in exchange. A month's approval.' No! Better
not put
that in, or they'd send you packing back at the end of the first week."
"Brothers are beasts!" pouted
Ruby, throwing a vibrator
at Baz to express her indignation. "What I'd like would be for Mom to
take
me away for a year, or let me study Gynaecology, or Sociology, or
something,
just with her. Shayla Luge's Mom went with her to Las Vegas, and they'd
a
gorgeous time. That's my ambition."
"And mine's just to be allowed to
stop at home,"
added Mia plaintively.
Neither Ruby's nor Mia's wishes,
however, were considered at
head-quarters. The powers that be had decided that they were to be
educated at Cedar
Pastures College, their bags were ready packed, and their train was to
leave at
nine o'clock by railway time. Mom saw them off at the station.
"I wish I could have taken you,"
she said rather
anxiously. "But I think you'll manage the journey all right. You're
both
together, and Ruby's a big girl now, and used to travelling. You've
only to
cross the platform at Sandwell Green to get the Arlington train, and a
teacher
is to meet you at the station. You'll know her by the Cedar Pastures
badge, and
be sure you don't speak to anyone else. Call out of the window for a
porter
when you reach Sandwell Green. You've plenty of time to change. Well,
good-bye,
chicks! Be good girls. Don't forget to text me from the station. Call
as soon
as you can. You're just off now! Good-bye! Good-bye!"
As the train shunted out, Mia sank
into her place with the
air of a martyr starting for the stake, and mopped her eyes with her
already
damp tissue. Ruby, case-hardened after many similar partings, settled
herself
in the next seat, and, pulling out a magazine from her bag, began to
read. The
train was very full, and the girls had with difficulty found room.
Soldiers on
leave were returning to Afghanistan, and filled the corridor. Mia and
Ruby were
crammed in between a stout woman, who nursed a basket containing a
mewing
kitten, and a wizened little man with an irritating cough. Opposite sat
three soldiers,
and an elderly lady with a long thin nose and prominent teeth, who
entered into
conversation with the soldiers, and proffered them much good advice,
with an
epitome of her ideas on the conduct of the war. The distance from
Silverwood to
Sandwell Green was only thirty miles, and the train was due to arrive
at the
junction with twenty-five minutes to spare for the Arlington express.
On all
ordinary occasions it jogged along in a commonplace fashion, and turned
up up
to time. To-day, however, it behaved with unusual eccentricity, and,
instead of
passing the signals at Bushwell, it slowed up and whistled, and finally
stood
still upon the bridge.
"Must be something blocking the
line," observed
one of the soldiers, looking out of the window.
"I do hope it's not an accident.
Amtrak is so terribly
understaffed at present," began the thin lady nervously. "I've always
had a horror of railway accidents. I wish I'd taken out insurance
before I
started. Can you see anything on the line? Is there any danger?"
The soldier drew in his head and
smiled. It was a
particularly good-looking head, with twinkling brown eyes, and a very
humorous
smile.
"Not so long as the train is
standing still," he
replied. "I think they'll get us back to the front this time. We'll
probably have to wait till something passes us. It's just a matter of
patience."
His words were justified, for in
about ten minutes an
express roared by, after which event their train once more started, and
jogged
along to Sandwell Green.
"We're horribly late!" whispered
Ruby to Mia,
consulting her watch. "I hope to goodness there'll be no more stops.
It's
running the thing very fine, I can tell you. I'm glad we've only to
cross the
platform. I'll get a porter as fast as I can."
But, when they reached Sandwell
Green, the stout woman and
the basket with the kitten got in the way, and the elderly lady jammed
up the
door with her luggage, so it took ages for Mia and Ruby managed to get
themselves and their belongings out of the train.
"What are we to do?" cried Ruby.
"We'll miss
the Arlington train! I know we shall!"
She seized one of the bags by the
handle, and tried to drag
it along the platform, but its weight was prohibitive. After a couple
of yards
she stopped exhausted.
"Better leave your luggage," said
a voice at her
elbow. "If you want the express, you'll have to make a run for it."
Ruby turned round quickly. The
speaker was the young soldier
who had leaned out of the carriage window when the line was blocked.
His dark
eyes were still twinkling.
"The train's over there, and
they're shutting the
doors," he urged. "Here, I'll take this for you, if you like. Best
hurry up!"
He had his heavy kit to carry, but
he shouldered the girls'
pile of suitcases and bags, in addition to his own burden, and set off
post-haste
along the platform, while Ruby and Mia, much encumbered with their bags
and a
few odd parcels, followed in his wake. It was a difficult progress, for
everybody seemed to get into their way, and just as they neared the
express the
guard waved his green flag.
"Stand back! Stand back!" shouted
an official, as
the girls made a last wild spurt, the whistle sounded, the guard jumped
into
the van, and, with a loud clanging of coupling-chains, the train
started. They
had missed it by exactly five seconds.
"Hard luck!" said the soldier,
depositing the bags
on the platform. "You'll have to wait two hours for the next. You'll
get
your luggage, at any rate. Oh, it's all right!" as Ruby murmured
thanks,
"I'm only sorry you've missed it," and he hailed a companion and was
gone.
"It was awfully kind of him,"
commented Mia, still
panting from her run.
"Kind! He's kule—there was no
mistaking that!"
replied Ruby.
The two girls had now to face the
very unpleasant fact that
they had missed the connection, and that the teacher who was to meet
them at the
station would look for them in vain. They wondered whether she would
wait for
the next train, and, if she did not, how they were going to get across
Arlington
to the railway station. Ruby felt very doubtful as to whether her
experience of
travelling would be equal to the emergency. She hid her fears, however,
from Mia,
whose countenance was quite sufficiently woebegone already.
"We'll get cigarettes out of the
automatic machine, and
buy something to read at the bookstall," she suggested. "Two hours
won't last forever!"
Mia cheered up a little at the
sight of magazines, and
picked out a sports journal with an athlete on the cover. Ruby, whose
taste in
literature inclined to the sensational, reviewed the books, and chose
one with
a startling picture depicting a naked girl in the act of being
ejaculated on at
a dinner-party. She was too agitated to read more than a few pages of
it, but
she thought it seemed interesting.
When Ruby got into the waiting
room, Mia had a rather nice surprise
waiting for her. Mia was sitting on the
bench
in nothing but her panties.
Mia's boobs were out
in the open. Ruby just stood in front of
the bench staring at her sister's luscious boobs. Ruby
looked her sister right in the face and
smiled the biggest smile. She sat down
next to Mia. They just looked at each other smiling.
"Ruby, I have to tell you
something. The other day when
I got in the house, I knew you were thinking about me while you were
playing with
yourself. And you know what?
It made me so wet I had to change my panties."
Mia confessed.
Ruby smiled at her sister and
proceeded to take off her
clothes. Mia liked what she saw and
licked her lips as she took off her own panties. When Mia sat down, she
was
totally naked. Mia put her arms around her
sister and they embraced. They kissed.
Mia opened her mouth and let
Ruby's tongue inside. Their tits were
mashed together as they
kissed sweetly. Both girls were so turned
on they couldn't stand it any longer. They
finally broke their kiss and Ruby spoke.
"Mia, I just have to taste your
pussy"
Mia lay down on the bench and
opened her legs for her
sister. Ruby stuck out her tongue and
ran it along the length of Mia's pussy. Mia let out a low but sensual
moan. She was in ecstasy.
Ruby stuck her tongue as deep into her
sister's cunt as she could. She put her
whole mouth over her sister's snatch and sucked hard at her sister's
pussy.
Mia began moaning loudly and
bucking her hips wildly while Ruby
ate her pussy. Finally, Mia couldn't
keep it in any longer and gushed the biggest orgasm of her life right
into her
sister's mouth. Ruby swallowed all she
could and what she didn't swallow ran out of her mouth and down her
chin. Mia sat up and kissed her sister,
licking and
sucking her own juices from her sister's face.
"Ruby baby, its now your turn. Lay down", Mia said in a very sexy voice.
Ruby lay down on the bench and
parted her legs. Mia didn't waste any time. She dove right into her pussy.
Ruby was so wet she almost came at first
contact. Mia liked the taste of her
sister's pussy and began licking and sucking her cunt like a woman
possessed. Mia began sucking in Ruby's
clit like a mad woman. Ruby was moaning
so loud you could almost hear it outside. Ruby
was in heaven.
When Ruby came, Mia did her best
to swallow it all. Ruby's orgasm was so
huge that there was no
possible way Mia could swallow it all. Most of it came gushing out of
her mouth
and down her chin and dribbled onto the bench. Mia
sat up and kissed her sister on the lips again. They
hugged and held
each other for the better part of an hour before finally getting up off
of the bench.
The two hours were over at last,
and the girls and their
luggage were safely installed in the Arlington train by a porter. It
was a long
journey to the station. After their early start and the excitement at
Sandwell
Green both felt tired, and even Ruby looked decidedly sober when they
reached
their destination. Each was wearing the brown-white-and-blue Cedar
Pastures
badge, which had been forwarded to them from the school, and by which
the
mistress was to identify them. As they left the carriage, they glanced
anxiously at the coat of each lady who passed them on the platform, to
descry a
similar rosette. All in vain. Everybody was in a hurry, and nobody
sported the Cedar
Pastures colours.
"We shall have to get a taxi and
manage as best we
can," sighed Ruby. " The taxis will all be taken up if we're not
quick! Oh, geez, there's that soldier again! I wonder if he'd call us
one. I
declare I'll ask him."
"Hail you a taxi? With pleasure!"
replied the
young soldier, as Ruby impulsively stopped him and urged her request.
"Have you got your luggage this time?"
"Yes, yes, it's all here, and——"
"Are you Ruby and Mia
Wienerschnitzel?"
interrupted a sharp voice. "I've been looking for you everywhere. Who
is
this you're speaking to? You don't know? Then come along with
me
immediately. No, certainly not! I'll get a taxi myself. Where is your
luggage?"
The speaker was tall and fair,
with light-grey eyes and
pince-nez. She wore the unmistakable Cedar Pastures badge, so her words
carried
authority. She bustled the girls off in a tremendous hurry, and their
Good
Samaritan of a soldier melted away amongst the crowd.
"I've been waiting hours for you.
How did you miss your
train?" asked the mistress. "Why didn't you go and stand under the
clock, as you were told in the Principal's letter? And don't you know
that you
must never address strangers?"
"She's angry with you for speaking
to the soldier,"
whispered Mia to Ruby, as the pair followed their new guardian.
"I can't help it. He would have
got us a limo, and now
