But all the children on my side walk whole-feet over the wet floor when I am scrubbing, and their shoes are big and muddy. Ugh! big tracks they make! But I have learned the motto, every word, and I can speak that when I feel discouraged with my work."
But the dormitory girls were very mean to walk whole-feet on my wet floor. If they had walked heel or tiptoe I should not have scolded to myself about the ugly issue shoes, and called them shovel-feeted, and wished they had to lie in bed. But I did not wish them to be cripples only have a good long rest till I was through scrubbing. But Hannah was mean to go and tell.
"Because you have the teachers' side, and that's always nicer, to begin with, than the girls' side," answered Cordelia Running Bird. "You know the teachers never walk whole-feet when you are scrubbing. If they have to go by, they walk tiptoe, and their toes are sharp and clean and do not make big tracks.
"We can treat Cordelia Running Bird cross because she called us shovel-feeted, and is very vain, so we should punish her, but we will not be wicked." "I did not say we shall I said we can," retracted Hannah, in confusion. "The girls were very mean to walk whole-feet where she was scrubbing," said the playroom girl, who knew from sad experience what Cordelia's trials must have been.
"Because I have an onion no, a bunion on my foot. The issue shoes would make it worse. Just like there is no girl in school that does not hate to have the horrid whole-feet tracks on her wet floor." "I hate them some," confessed a middle dormitory girl. "I, too," admitted a south dormitory girl. "I threw a few drops of scrub water on a girl that walked whole-feet."
"It makes me very cross because the little girls will not stay out or, sit still on the benches when I scrub the playroom, and they do not make big tracks, if they do walk whole-feet." "You can speak to her, because she could not call you shovel-feeted, for the white mother lets you always wear the mission shoes," said Hannah Straight Tree, growing bold again.
She tries to walk so nice, just like the teachers. And if we are walking on our heels they say, 'Very awkward; hear her tramp just like a steer. But it is not kind to walk whole-feet." The race mood was upon the wane, and Hannah Straight Tree was fast losing influence.
