Sally didn't like having her at all; she said with the wedding coming, the teacher would be a nuisance.

Shelley had finished our school, and the Groveville high school, and instead of attending college she was going to Chicago to study music.

She was so anxious over her dresses and getting started, she didn't seem to think much about what was going to happen to us at home; so she didn't care if Miss Amelia stayed at our house.

May said it would be best to have the teacher with us, because she could help us with our lessons at home, and we could get ahead of the others.

May already had decided that she would be at the head of her class when she finished school, and every time you wanted her and couldn't find her, if you would look across the foot of mother's bed, May would be there with a spelling book.
