By the end of five minutes the substitute teacher had set several large noisy paper bags on the window ledge.,“Well, Miss Smith, are you alone here?”,"I am very ignorant I know," says Mrs. Geoffrey, with her sunny smile, "but I think I should prefer a snowdrop to a thistle.","How melancholy!" says Mona, with a nearer approach to brightness than she has shown all day.，"An' what's that?" asked Anse, apprehensively.，The brow of Sarby grew black, and in his turn he rose to his feet.，The present for Father was an easy matter. The ruler that Johnny had just finished in the sloyd class was exactly the thing; and Mother should have the knife box.

When the key turned in the lock she looked around wildly; ran to the window and tried it. It was nailed down. For a second she stood quite still, gazing straight before her.
