They all went into the country by train, on a day which at first promised to be typical of all days unfortunately chosen for staff outings, but which cheered up later and became brilliantly fine. Only the girls were there, with Miss Summers and another forewoman, Miss Rapson, to see that nobody fell into mischief.
With correct and careful tuition at Miss Pillbody's, these constant exercises at home, ambition, and an excellent memory for languages, Pet was soon able not only to satisfy her teacher, but to make herself understood, in a small way, by a real French woman, Mdlle. Duchette, the forewoman of a candy store on the nearest business avenue.
"But, my dear young lady!" exclaimed the manager, "this is not a drill it is a real fire!" "I know it," she said, quietly. "But that makes no difference. I must leave last. You will kindly go ahead." "I guess we'll have to, Russ," remarked the manager. "But I don't like it." "Those are the rules," insisted the forewoman, and she would not go out on the fire escape until Russ, Paul and Mr.
As she had said to Julie, she loved her girls, and they in turn loved and trusted her. In this instance she had not long to wait.

Spencer, who was babbling cheerfully in her loud tones to Miss Lancaster, the forewoman. Though some of the best blood in Virginia, profusely diluted with some of the worst, flowed comfortably in Mrs. Spencer's veins, it was impossible even for her relatives to deny that she could be at times decidedly vulgar.

"I've known cases in my time where it's come on suddenly, and it's thrown a girl clean off her balance.
"Julie, Julie, listen to me," cried the forewoman almost in despair. "Believe it or not as you please, I have come here to-day to help you if I can. I have come because there was something in your face, a look in your eyes, that day you left us that has haunted me ever since. I have come because I feared you were in trouble and were too proud to tell us so.

"I'll not speak to you any more on the matter. Next time you'll be fired. See?"

Just as she was slipping on her jacket to go home that evening, the forewoman came up to her with a bundle. "I am sorry, Cicely," she said, "but I shall have to ask you to take some work home with you to-night.
"That was a Sacramento train," said Marcus to Selina as they started off; "it was, for a fact." "I know a girl in Sacramento," Trina told McTeague. "She's forewoman in a glove store, and she's got consumption." "I was in Sacramento once," observed McTeague, "nearly eight years ago." "Is it a nice place as nice as San Francisco?" "It's hot. I practised there for a while."
