User-Contributed Transcription I used to. Last Friday I said I would keep any who left a seat without permission, or made any unnecessary noise in their seats 5 minutes after school closed. Having been a good deal of irregularity in attendance some few had got rather unruly. One of the larger girls spoke out loud, and had to remain. She was much vexed, and muttered that the afternoon recess would be the last of her at school. This was at noon, and as I was reading a story to those I kept, and talking to them, she put her fingers in her ears, I said a few words, perhaps too hasty and sarcastic to her then, and when dismissed she was quite vexed, but the same day a little before recess I asked her if she would like to help wash the school house floor if the boys carried water. She said "Yes ma'am, Ellen an I will mop it, you mustn't, we won't let you". Every such little words of confidence and love (and I hear a good many of them now) do me so
