I just looked as if I were studying Canadian history, you know, while all the while I was reveling in Ben Hur.

I was so interested in it that I never noticed Miss Stacy coming down the aisle until all at once I just looked up and there she was looking down at me, so reproachful-like.

I can't tell you how ashamed I felt, Marilla, especially when I heard Josie Pye giggling.

Miss Stacy took Ben Hur away, but she never said a word then.

She kept me in at recess and talked to me.
