This shed had three partitions. In each partition was a shallow ...

In the afternoon she walks out with Antoinette. Once she stole forth by herself, enjoyed herself hugely for a short time, got lost, and was brought back thoroughly frightened by a policeman. I wonder what the policeman thought of her? The rest of the day she looks at picture-books and works embroidery. She is making an elaborate bed-spread which will give her harmless ...

I can well understand why these pupils should prefer to stand forth not as a distinct race, but as American and Christian girls.
