Surrounded by a curious crowd, whom the noise had drawn together, I began to walk hurriedly towards the town, and entering the first open shop I came to, I begged the shopkeeper to take me to the superintendent's.
I do not know what the cadets will say if the Superintendent's children do not practice what he demands of them. They will naturally say he had better attend to his own before he corrects other people's children, and as he permits his to stoop it is hard he will not allow them. I presume your mother has told all about us, our neighbours and our affairs.
As she told of Lily the Superintendent's kind eyes filled with tears, and her lips quivered. "Oh," she breathed, "if only something could be done for her if only something could be done!

They say the Lord's Prayer at school perhaps, formally and hurriedly in the morning, they hear the prayer from the superintendent's desk on Sunday, or perchance remember the evening, "Now I lay me down to sleep," which is said in many homes not Christian, by the little child.

"Yes, monseigneur," Vanel replied, beginning to tremble in every limb, as the prelate's eyes seemed almost ready to devour him.

One more year, now, and she would be ready, Miss Margaret assured her, to take the county superintendent's examination for a certificate to teach.
