come and translate 80 lines of Greek for me-"
 "I'll help you with it, of course. But can't simply translate it for you and let you hand 1t in. I had the course last year and Dr. Shire would recognize 1t in a minute" Coral was looking over the volumes in the case. Where's the book?"
 Donna sat up on the edge of the window seat, her eyes snapping. Coral, for heavens sake don't be so so prissy. You know quite well that I can't begin to translate that into any kind of sense. You've done it all once, it'll be no work for you. Besides, old 'Owl-Eyes' won't know the difference"
 Coral laughed in spite of her. self. You shouldn't make fun of Professor Shire, Donna, And he's much cannier than you think. He'd recognize my translation in minute. Don't forget was in his classes for three years, and he even knows how make mistakes. It's all right for me to help you get started on your translation. But I couldn't do the whole thing for you. That's cheating. It wouldn't be right"
 nONNA sprang to her feet. Coral, D you make me sick. All your talk about what's right and what isn't. You're fine one to talk. l know a lot more about you than you think I do. You can't pull your sweet, innocent act with me any more."
 Donna, what are you talking about?" Coral paled little. You must be crazy!"
 Crazy, am II" Donna fairly screamed, I'm not so crazy as to elope with a cheap chemistry pro- lessor who makes nothing year, MRS. DAVID ARMSTRONG"
 For few moments there was dead silence in the room. At last Coral spoke. What do you mean?" Her voice was strained, held in con- trol by terrific exertion of her will.
 "You know what mean," Donna said Sulkily, frightened by Coral's voice, and her drawn, white face. T couldn't find a handkerchief when I came in and I opened your drawer to borrow one of yours. The license was under the pile of hand kerchiefs. Anyone might have found it."
 Donna, you're lying" said Coral. That marriage license was locked in the drawer of my desk. The key was under the handkerchiefs.'
 What difference does it make, as long as found it?" Donna in quired insolently. "I'll be the campus sensation with this juicy little tid-bit of gossip to recount. You'll be expelled and your hand- some David will lose his job."
 Coral was aghast. Donna, you're not going to tell anyone9 You mustn't"
 Donna sat down on the window seat again. Why not?"
 "You know perfectly well why not It must be kept secret until June." DONNA selected chocolate from D the box and munched 1t pens- lively. T might be persuaded to keep your pretty little secret If you made it worth my while. If you translated my Greek, for instance, and seemed willing to do a few other odd jobs for me-"
 Without word, Coral rum maged through the bookcase until she found the Greek textbook, and sat down at the desk, paper and pencil beside her. "There seems to be nothing else for me to do. l ought to have this finished be- fore dinner" She worked silently for a while, then without looking up, said, T hope you realize that this is a peculiarly low form of blackmail, Donna"
 Donna grinned. "Call 1t black mail if it makes you feel any better, sweetheart. It's darned convenient for me. And by the way, have a date with Lefty Welsh tonight and don't intend to be in until long after I'm supposed to be. I'll ex- pect you to go downstairs and open the door for me between half-pass 3 and 4 o'clock"
 An involuntary spasm of aristsste crossed Coral's face, and 1t did not escape Donna. At any rate, I'll come home single" ahe mccked. You can do my physics problems while you're waiting to let me tn." She chuckled again and reopened her novel. coldly ignoring the brir1- ming tears in Coral's eyes.
