But all the same, I'd know. I could tell by the little things that you grown-ups don't notice." "That will be difficult." "Well then, she rebuked him thoroughly for his variable though severe criticisms, and stated, with some emotion, that the Board should be enlightened as to his unfitness, through his captious temper, for the delicate task of nourishing the tender sensibilities of the budding artist.".
