"Why, you are very stupid. I mean, where are you going to sit?"
"Where we always do, I suppose."
"But then you would have so far to walk."
"To walk?" Matilda repeated, bewildered.
"Why, yes, child! When you are called to go up with the rest, you know; you would have so far to go."
"Oh!" said Matilda. "What of it?"
"Don't you care?"
"Why, no. It don't make any difference."
"Well, I'd have a white frock if I were you," said Maria. "Being in black is no objection to that; for people do just the same, Matilda, for a baptism."
