"It just crossed my mind," Lila said suddenly, "What if Elsie doesn't spill her secret before the time is up?"
Daisy's attention perked up instantly, her analytical mind already running through the implications. She said to Violet, "Lila's right. Everything we're planning hinges on bugging her room and catching her off guard. But if I were Elsie, I'd be extra careful especially during a sensitive week like this. If her secret is as dangerous as we think, she's not going to be careless about it."
Ivy added next, "And don't forget, parents officially start trooping in by Friday. Knowing my kind the aristocrats, they'll be turning on the charm and flashing their perfect hair, perfect smiles, trying to win over the parents. Elsie would undoubtedly be leading the parade and would not risk ruining her image with one slip-up. She'll be all glitter and grace."
