East Side school, had, almost to a man, decided on the gifts to be lavished
on "Teacher." She was quite unprepared for any such observance on the part
of her small adherents, for her first study of the roll book had shown her
that its numerous Jacobs, Isidores, and Rachels belonged to a class to which
Christmas Day was much as other days. And so she went serenely on her way,
all unconscious of the swift and strict relation between her manner and her
chances. She was, for instance, the only person in the room who did not know
that her criticism of Isidore Belchatosky's hands and face cost her a tall
"three for ten cents" candlestick and a plump box of candy. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
