A lot of the girls say it is ridiculous of her father to send her to Miss Braxton 's private school -- a factory overseer 's daughter . '' `` She ought to have been asked to the picnic all the same , '' said Nan shortly . `` She is in our class if she is n't in our set . Of course I do n't suppose she would have enjoyed herself -- or even gone at all , for that matter . She certainly does n't push herself in among us . One would think she had n't a tongue in her head .
