"Oh, you know well enough. Pupils always know that. In what do you have the best marks?"
"In religion."
"Now, you see, you do know after all. Well, that is very fine. I was not so good in it, but it was probably due to the instruction. We had only a young man licensed to preach."
"We had, too."
"Has he gone away?"
Annie nodded.
"Why did he leave?"
"I don't know. Now we have the preacher again."
"And you all love him dearly?"
"Yes, and two of the girls in the highest class are going to change their religion."
