User-Contributed Transcription Miss Jencks has a recitation room, into which classes come from Mrs. R's room. I must tell you about my experience one drizzly afternoon this week. I went to pay a consolatory visit to Mr. H?. On my way home, I saw one of "my boys." Finding he lived near, and that his mother was at home, I engaged him to pilot me there. We turned down a lane, he keeping near until we reached a new fence and gate enclosing a yard. Darting in like a shot from a gun he left me quite in the rear. As I followed, I saw him dart up to the furthest door of a snug unpainted little house and overheard the startling exclamation, "The teacher's coming!" There was a sudden movement, or a variety of them, but in a moment--he reappeared at the door saying "come in Miss Everest." Obeying I saw the table spread for supper. Not with table cloth, but more palatable looking
