The girls will do more for themselves as a self-governing body than I can possibly do for them.

By the way, I wonder if Miss Ward is up yet.

She overslept and missed her first recitation yesterday morning.
She came down to the dining-room long after breakfast was over.

Susan was rather upset over having to serve an extra breakfast.

I was obliged to tell Miss Ward that if it occurred again she would have to abide by the consequences of her own tardiness.
