There were too many girls passing back
and forth now to make prudent a discussion such as was theirs.
A good part of the afternoon found Harriet Burrell in the kitchen of the
cook tent. Harriet was trying to win an "honor" by making soup. By making
five standard soups consecutively she would win another bead, provided
the soups were favorably received by the Camp Wau-Wau Girls.
Harriet's first day in the kitchen resulted in more confusion than the
kitchen had known that season. It seemed that everything was misplaced.
The dinner was late that night, but the soup was excellent. The other
girls in the kitchen made no complaint about the confusion, which they
believed to be due to carelessness on Harriet's part, because the
misplaced articles and various ingredients scattered about were those
which she had used in her work.
The next day conditions were no different. Patricia, who was preparing
salads for an "honor" finally threw up her hands in disgust. She declared
she could stand it no longer and if some of the girls didn't remove
Harriet from the kitchen, she, Patricia would have to get out herself.
Somehow this word reached Mrs. Livingston, with the result that Patricia
herself was asked to drop her "honor" work in the kitchen for the present.
It was a blow to Patricia Scott.
