ruefully: causing sorrow or pity.
Slicker: a long, loose, oilskin raincoat.
This is a story about two roommates at a boarding school. Jessica is a very clean and organized person while Francie is very messy, and they argue about the mess often. A girl named Cynthia walks into their room looking for Francie. She tells Francie that Mrs. Peck wants to see her in the Administration Building. Francie is really scared that she is going to get into trouble for something that she has done, she couldn't quite figure out why she would be called there. When she arrived at the building Mrs. Peck told her that her mother had passed away. Francie was to go home, but had no wway, or family to call. Francie took a bus to New York City to find her father whom she had never met. Francie arrived at his apartment building, talked to a roommate of his, and the story ends without letting the reader know if she ever met her father or not.
