Sure, somebody cares–heartthrob Tommy is and “sick and tired and ” and ” of Lou Emma’s sister Maddy and “actin’ like she was the only Miller girl in Gloriosa High. and ” And Lou Emma’s milliner stepmother Miss Kate is concerned that she’s and “too quiet, and ” and not and “enough trouble. and ” Still, Maddy the debating-team dark hope is the family starlet, and 15-year-old Lou Emma has competition for Tommy too–from tough, vampish newcomer Zetta. But when Zetta says something insulting about Lou Emma, Maddy hits her–it’s Miller family Rule Number One to stick together–and then unfairly blames Lou Emma for her ouster from the debating team, rousing Lou Emma to a rare show of anger.
