I am sorry to tell you that your child is not exactly engaging; she resembles a wild and furious little kitten with bristling hair.

She seems to me to be always making a round back; she looks as if she wanted to jump at one and scratch." "No, no, she does not do that," the Director assured "The child is not in the least ill-natured, at least, I do not think so.

But I am afraid that you are right in saying that she does not resemble her mother in the least.

Her education, I mean her lack of education, may have something to do with it.

That is why I am so grateful to you both for coming here.
