“Not at all. I think you have done a lot for yourself and it must have been awfully exciting while you were about it. I’ve never had anything more exciting in my life than just going to school.

I couldn’t want much better than this, could I?”,"What a strange name yours is!—Nolly," says Mona, presently.,Another pause. Mona is on thorns.
