I have seen you sometimes when you study and I wonder how you count ze stitches and learn, too, but you always have your lessons well." Tabitha's face flushed with pleasure at this unexpected praise, and she laughingly replied, "Oh, I can't always. It is just when I am memorizing something or learning French conjugations.
