e Leslie Manor girls believed, and, although strangers, certainly enthused more over the blue and yellow, the Leslie Manor colors, than over the green and red. "Look at those two stunning girls in the third row on the left side, Aileen. Do you know who they are?" asked Sally, during one of the intermissions. "Never laid eyes on them before," replied Aileen.
