As her father had said of her in the long-ago days of happiness and prosperity, she took her hedges straight. For several minutes after Jeanie's weary little confidence, she worked in silence; then suddenly, with needle poised, she looked across at the child. Jeanie's head was bent over her exercise-book. Her hair lay in a heavy mass all about her shoulders.
All I could now do was to walk up to Blanche Mademoiselle de Melcy, a young baronne the eldest, tallest, handsomest, and most vicious stand before her desk, take from under her hand her exercise-book, remount the estrade, deliberately read the composition, which I found very stupid, and, as deliberately, and in the face of the whole school, tear the blotted page in two.
