P. S. I looked in the glass this morning and found a perfectly new
dimple that I’d never seen before. It’s very curious. Where do you
suppose it came from?
June 9th.
_Dear Daddy-Long-Legs_,
Happy day! I’ve just finished my last examination--Physiology.
And now:
Three months on a farm!
I don’t know what kind of a thing a farm is. I’ve never been on one
in my life. I’ve never even looked at one (except from the car
window), but I know I’m going to love it, and I’m going to love
being _free_.
I am not used even yet to being outside the John Grier Home.
Whenever I think of it excited little thrills chase up and down my
back. I feel as though I must run faster and faster and keep looking
over my shoulder to make sure that Mrs. Lippett isn’t after me with
her arm stretched out to grab me back.
