"
She
's
always
doing
something
silly
,
"
snapped
Lavinia
.
"
My
mamma
says
that
way
of
hers
of
pretending
things
is
silly
.
She
says
she
will
grow
up
eccentric
.

It
was
quite
true
that
Sara
was
never
"
grand
.
"
She
was
a
friendly
little
soul
,
and
shared
her
privileges
and
belongings
with
a
free
hand
.
The
little
ones
,
who
were
accustomed
to
being
disdained
and
ordered
out
of
the
way
by
mature
ladies
aged
ten
and
twelve
,
were
never
made
to
cry
by
this
most
envied
of
them
all
.
She
was
a
motherly
young
person
,
and
when
people
fell
down
and
scraped
their
knees
,
she
ran
and
helped
them
up
and
patted
them
,
or
found
in
her
pocket
a
bonbon
or
some
other
article
of
a
soothing
nature
.
She
never
pushed
them
out
of
her
way
or
alluded
to
their
years
as
a
humiliation
and
a
blot
upon
their
small
characters
.

"
If
you
are
four
you
are
four
,
"
she
said
severely
to
Lavinia
on
an
occasion
of
her
having
--
it
must
be
confessed
--
slapped
Lottie
and
called
her
"
a
brat
;
"
"
but
you
will
be
five
next
year
,
and
six
the
year
after
that
.
And
,
"
opening
large
,
convicting
eyes
,
"
it
takes
sixteen
years
to
make
you
twenty
.

"
Dear
me
,
"
said
Lavinia
,
"
how
we
can
calculate
!
"
In
fact
,
it
was
not
to
be
denied
that
sixteen
and
four
made
twenty
--
and
twenty
was
an
age
the
most
daring
were
scarcely
bold
enough
to
dream
of
.
205
So
the
younger
children
adored
Sara
.
More
than
once
she
had
been
known
to
have
a
tea
party
,
made
up
of
these
despised
ones
,
in
her
own
room
.
And
Emily
had
been
played
with
,
and
Emily
's
own
tea
service
used
--
the
one
with
cups
which
held
quite
a
lot
of
much-sweetened
weak
tea
and
had
blue
flowers
on
them
.
No
one
had
seen
such
a
very
real
doll
's
tea
set
before
.
From
that
afternoon
Sara
was
regarded
as
a
goddess
and
a
queen
by
the
entire
alphabet
class
.
206
Lottie
Legh
worshipped
her
to
such
an
extent
that
if
Sara
had
not
been
a
motherly
person
,
she
would
have
found
her
tiresome
.
Lottie
had
been
sent
to
school
by
a
rather
flighty
young
papa
who
could
not
imagine
what
else
to
do
with
her
.
Her
young
mother
had
died
,
and
as
the
child
had
been
treated
like
a
favorite
doll
or
a
very
spoiled
pet
monkey
or
lap
dog
ever
since
the
first
hour
of
her
life
,
she
was
a
very
appalling
little
creature
.
When
she
wanted
anything
or
did
not
want
anything
she
wept
and
howled
;
and
,
as
she
always
wanted
the
things
she
could
not
have
,
and
did
not
want
the
things
that
were
best
for
her
,
her
shrill
little
voice
was
usually
to
be
heard
uplifted
in
wails
in
one
part
of
the
house
or
another
.
207
Her
strongest
weapon
was
that
in
some
mysterious
way
she
had
found
out
that
a
very
small
girl
who
had
lost
her
mother
was
a
person
who
ought
to
be
pitied
and
made
much
of
.
She
had
probably
heard
some
grown-up
people
talking
her
over
in
the
early
days
,
after
her
mother
's
death
.
So
it
became
her
habit
to
make
great
use
of
this
knowledge
.

The
first
time
Sara
took
her
in
charge
was
one
morning
when
,
on
passing
a
sitting
room
,
she
heard
both
Miss
Minchin
and
Miss
Amelia
trying
to
suppress
the
angry
wails
of
some
child
who
,
evidently
,
refused
to
be
silenced
.
She
refused
so
strenuously
indeed
that
Miss
Minchin
was
obliged
to
almost
shout
--
in
a
stately
and
severe
manner
--
to
make
herself
heard
.
209
"
What
IS
she
crying
for
?
"
she
almost
yelled
.
210
"
Oh
--
oh
--
oh
!
"
Sara
heard
;
"
I
have
n't
got
any
mam
--
ma-a
!
"
