Daphne left Drusilla, to go to her sewing-class, and Mrs. Harris conducted Drusilla over the Settlement. She was shown the kindergarten, the club rooms where the boys and girls of the neighborhood danced in the evening, the clinic, the public baths, and the play yard.
The child stayed with her until school began, had dinner with her at midday, took part in the famous sewing-class with the other girls under the kind, lively teacher, and then went home in the wagon when it brought the afternoon milk. Good Frau Kummerfelden took a great deal of pleasure in the child's company but she had some left over for the father also.
Whilst these arrangements were being made down-stairs the twins were busy sewing in their garret-room. Lina was seated at one window, and Mina at the other; they never looked up from their work, and never spoke to each other as in the old days at Mrs. Behrens' sewing-class.
"Now I shall have real comfort with them." There was great excitement in the sewing-class when they were told that in future they were to go to "Teacher's" house every Saturday, and walk down to school with her. They were a droll little procession enough when they appeared the next week at the appointed time. Norah's toes were out of her shoes.
Then she asked to be taken to see Daphne with her sewing-class, as she could not get over the idea that it was a joke of some kind for Daphne to teach sewing, knowing that the girl knew nothing about the work. They found Daphne absorbed in cutting out very full trousers and middy blouses by the aid of a paper pattern, while eight girls were basting and stitching them.

"What does she mean?" asked the Bishop, turning to Mrs. Forcythe. "Her sewing-class," replied Mrs. Forcythe, smiling. "There they are!" cried Mary eagerly. "They're waiting for me.
At one time so the clergyman had told him Milly had had a sewing-class for the village girls in that very room; but the class had not been a success, and she had given it up after a few weeks.
"Oh, but Ann, my dear Ann!" exclaimed Penhallow, not knowing what more to say, annoyed at the discussion and at her display of unnecessary temper and the entire loss of her usual common sense. She said, with a laugh in which there was no mirth, "I presume one of you will, of course, run my sewing-class?" "Ann Ann!" said the Squire.
Tracy sent me word she was going to call between four and five to give me a few points about the girls' sewing-class, and I thought I would at the same time give her a few points about dressing herself. You know she is usually a fright." "I thought perhaps you had dressed yourself to please me." "You are quite right, John. Your pleasure is always the first motive for anything I do or wear."
He seemed to begin a smile at this point, and then to change his mind about it. The smile, if such it was, ended short, as if clipped off. "This door," he added turning to the fresh-painted portal at his elbow, "leads to one of them.... A fair sample, I imagine. This one happens to be a ah a sort of sewing-class room, I believe...."
