But as I can't understand it, how can I explain?
I have my own peculiar ideas, only, lately, I've begun to doubt them.

A year or so ago I would have said girls had their own way too much--too much time to themselves--too much freedom.

But now I seem to feel life isn't like what it was a few years ago.

Girls are bound to learn.

And they never learn at home, that's sure.
