If
Sara
had
been
a
different
kind
of
child
,
the
life
she
led
at
Miss
Minchin
's
Select
Seminary
for
the
next
few
years
would
not
have
been
at
all
good
for
her
.
She
was
treated
more
as
if
she
were
a
distinguished
guest
at
the
establishment
than
as
if
she
were
a
mere
little
girl
.
If
she
had
been
a
self-opinionated
,
domineering
child
,
she
might
have
become
disagreeable
enough
to
be
unbearable
through
being
so
much
indulged
and
flattered
.
If
she
had
been
an
indolent
child
,
she
would
have
learned
nothing
.
Privately
Miss
Minchin
disliked
her
,
but
she
was
far
too
worldly
a
woman
to
do
or
say
anything
which
might
make
such
a
desirable
pupil
wish
to
leave
her
school
.
She
knew
quite
well
that
if
Sara
wrote
to
her
papa
to
tell
him
she
was
uncomfortable
or
unhappy
,
Captain
Crewe
would
remove
her
at
once
.
Miss
Minchin
's
opinion
was
that
if
a
child
were
continually
praised
and
never
forbidden
to
do
what
she
liked
,
she
would
be
sure
to
be
fond
of
the
place
where
she
was
so
treated
.
Accordingly
,
Sara
was
praised
for
her
quickness
at
her
lessons
,
for
her
good
manners
,
for
her
amiability
to
her
fellow
pupils
,
for
her
generosity
if
she
gave
sixpence
to
a
beggar
out
of
her
full
little
purse
;
the
simplest
thing
she
did
was
treated
as
if
it
were
a
virtue
,
and
if
she
had
not
had
a
disposition
and
a
clever
little
brain
,
she
might
have
been
a
very
self-satisfied
young
person
.
But
the
clever
little
brain
told
her
a
great
many
sensible
and
true
things
about
herself
and
her
circumstances
,
and
now
and
then
she
talked
these
things
over
to
Ermengarde
as
time
went
on
.
"
Things
happen
to
people
by
accident
,
"
she
used
to
say
.
"
A
lot
of
nice
accidents
have
happened
to
me
.
It
just
HAPPENED
that
I
always
liked
lessons
and
books
,
and
could
remember
things
when
I
learned
them
.
It
just
happened
that
I
was
born
with
a
father
who
was
beautiful
and
nice
and
clever
,
and
could
give
me
everything
I
liked
.
Perhaps
I
have
not
really
a
good
temper
at
all
,
but
if
you
have
everything
you
want
and
everyone
is
kind
to
you
,
how
can
you
help
but
be
good-tempered
?
I
do
n't
know
"
--
looking
quite
serious
--
"
how
I
shall
ever
find
out
whether
I
am
really
a
nice
child
or
a
horrid
one
.
Perhaps
I
'm
a
HIDEOUS
child
,
and
no
one
will
ever
know
,
just
because
I
never
have
any
trials
.
"
"
Lavinia
has
no
trials
,
"
said
Ermengarde
,
stolidly
,
"
and
she
is
horrid
enough
.
"
Sara
rubbed
the
end
of
her
little
nose
reflectively
,
as
she
thought
the
matter
over
.
"
Well
,
"
she
said
at
last
,
"
perhaps
--
perhaps
that
is
because
Lavinia
is
GROWING
.
"
This
was
the
result
of
a
charitable
recollection
of
having
heard
Miss
Amelia
say
that
Lavinia
was
growing
so
fast
that
she
believed
it
affected
her
health
and
temper
.
Lavinia
,
in
fact
,
was
spiteful
.
She
was
inordinately
jealous
of
Sara
.
Until
the
new
pupil
's
arrival
,
she
had
felt
herself
the
leader
in
the
school
.
She
had
led
because
she
was
capable
of
making
herself
extremely
disagreeable
if
the
others
did
not
follow
her
.
She
domineered
over
the
little
children
,
and
assumed
grand
airs
with
those
big
enough
to
be
her
companions
.
She
was
rather
pretty
,
and
had
been
the
best-dressed
pupil
in
the
procession
when
the
Select
Seminary
walked
out
two
by
two
,
until
Sara
's
velvet
coats
and
sable
muffs
appeared
,
combined
with
drooping
ostrich
feathers
,
and
were
led
by
Miss
Minchin
at
the
head
of
the
line
.
This
,
at
the
beginning
,
had
been
bitter
enough
;
but
as
time
went
on
it
became
apparent
that
Sara
was
a
leader
,
too
,
and
not
because
she
could
make
herself
disagreeable
,
but
because
she
never
did
.
"
There
's
one
thing
about
Sara
Crewe
,
"
Jessie
had
enraged
her
"
best
friend
"
by
saying
honestly
,
"
she
's
never
'
grand
'
about
herself
the
least
bit
,
and
you
know
she
might
be
,
Lavvie
.
I
believe
I
could
n't
help
being
--
just
a
little
--
if
I
had
so
many
fine
things
and
was
made
such
a
fuss
over
.
It
's
disgusting
,
the
way
Miss
Minchin
shows
her
off
when
parents
come
.
"
"
'D
ear
Sara
must
come
into
the
drawing
room
and
talk
to
Mrs.
Musgrave
about
India
,
'
"
mimicked
Lavinia
,
in
her
most
highly
flavored
imitation
of
Miss
Minchin
.
"
'D
ear
Sara
must
speak
French
to
Lady
Pitkin
.
Her
accent
is
so
perfect
.
'
She
did
n't
learn
her
French
at
the
Seminary
,
at
any
rate
.
And
there
's
nothing
so
clever
in
her
knowing
it
.
She
says
herself
she
did
n't
learn
it
at
all
.
She
just
picked
it
up
,
because
she
always
heard
her
papa
speak
it
.
And
,
as
to
her
papa
,
there
is
nothing
so
grand
in
being
an
Indian
officer
.
"
"
Well
,
"
said
Jessie
,
slowly
,
"
he
's
killed
tigers
.
He
killed
the
one
in
the
skin
Sara
has
in
her
room
.
That
's
why
she
likes
it
so
.
She
lies
on
it
and
strokes
its
head
,
and
talks
to
it
as
if
it
was
a
cat
.
