"Jenny's right. This one is mine." Sarah said, mournfully.
"I was so hoping it wouldn't be."
She handed Diana one of the forms. It was one of the two
that had been sent for analysis. With this proof that the
graphologists had erred, Diana's hopes were raised and then
quickly lowered when Sarah declared that she was afraid to
testify at the hearing which was to be held soon. She was
apologetic about it. Her folks had told her not to get involved;
that it might mean trouble for her if she admitted to what
she had written.
Roz and Jennifer, by this time, were well into their campaign
protesting the sending off-campus of the student confidential evaluations.
They were unhappy that Sarah wouldn't testify, but they respected her feelings.
Later on in the week, Sarah appeared at Diana's office door again.
"You know," she said softly, "I think my parents are wrong on this.
I wrote something that got you into trouble and I should stand up
and admit it. Only, I'm so scared. But I know I have to do it.
"I'll go to the hearing but that's all I'm going to do.
I don't want to get mixed up any further in this and I don't
want anything at all to do with those.
