She had never thought there could be so many in any house.

She walked slowly down this place and stared at the faces which also seemed to stare at her.

She felt as if they were wondering what a little girl from India was doing in their house.

Some were pictures of children--little girls in thick satin frocks which reached to their feet and stood out about them, and boys with puffed sleeves and lace collars and long hair, or with big ruffs around their necks.

She always stopped to look at the children, and wonder what their names were, and where they had gone, and why they wore such odd clothes.
