Dora Says The Other Bryn Mawrters Can't Help Me

Dear Readers,

The other Bryn Mawrters cannot help me. It is Lantern Night. They are at the Step Sing in October on the Steps of Taylor Hall. Each girl has a lantern. They sing, "Akouee!" in classical Greek. If I hadn't been trying to finish my classics paper, I would have been with them. That would have been far better than where I am now, still staring at Ali outside my dorm room window.

I can hear the girls from here. Window and doors are open across the hallway. It is a still October night, and nothing is that far away from anything else on the Bryn Mawr campus.

Should I scream? Maybe someone will hear me. But then Ali might shoot me, too.

Sincerely yours,

Dora Benley
P.S. It was easier to escape from the Lusitania than to escape from Ali in Denbigh Hall.
