Some teachers could be nice. Miss Fanny had been nice. But to be a Principal!
Emmy Lou had known but one type. She looked up from her plate. “I reckon Miss Fanny’s mamma will cry some more,” said Emmy Lou.
THE CONFINES OF CONSISTENCY
Aunt Louise was opposed to the public school.
Uncle Charlie said he feared Aunt Louise did not appreciate the democratic institutions of her country.
Emmy Lou caught the word—democratic; later she had occasion to consider it further.
Aunt Louise said that Uncle Charlie was quite right in his fear, and the end was that Emmy Lou was started at private school.
But it was not a school—it was only a Parlour; and there being a pupil more than there were accommodations, and Emmy Lou being the new-comer, her portion was a rocking-chair and a lap-board.
