Crossword-Solution: MAVIE 5 letters, 1 clue 🏆 scrabble score: 10

Mavis was sitting on the porch when he walked through the gate, and the moment she saw his face a glad light shone in her own, for it was the old Jason coming back to her: "Mavie," he said huskily, "I reckon I'm the biggest fool this side o' hell, whar I reckon I ought to be." Mavis asked no question, made no answer.

Already some papers were pinned up claiming attention for the various candidates: "Vote for Val Barnett, the hockey champion." "Hope Lawson begs all her friends to support her in the coming election." "Grace Russell solicits the favour of your votes." "Noëlle Kennedy relies upon the kindness of the Lower School." "Hallo, Dorothy!" said Mavie Morris.

She was annoyed at Mavie's scant appreciation of her poetic effort; and having manifested her independence by pinning the offending verses on the notice board, she stalked away, trying to look nonchalant.

Why, I never asked Mavie! How stupid! But she's certain to be on my side; she detests Val, and she's not particularly fond of Hope either, though of course there's Grace.

Had I better go back and make sure of her?" On the whole she decided that as she had left Mavie in rather a high and mighty manner, it would seem a little beneath her dignity to return at once and beg a favour, so she went into the playground instead to beat up possible electors.
