When supper was over, and she and Miss Beach were taking their usual twilight stroll round the garden, Aunt Harriet, who had been silent for a few minutes, suddenly spoke.
"I wish to say something to you, Winona.

I'm very gratified indeed to hear that you have passed your college examinations.

It has given me a better opinion of your capacity and perseverance than I possessed before.

This result, combined with your conduct in coaching your friend through all these weeks, has decided me in a project that I was debating in my mind.

I am going to send you either to a Physical Training College to qualify as a Games Mistress, or to a Horticultural College to prepare for a National Rural Economy diploma.
