Miss Kuhn saw that Ella was slyly eating during school time. She said,
[Sidenote: Eating]
“Ella, stop eating in school.” Several times thereafter Miss Kuhn peered
round her desk at Ella as if expecting to find her still eating. When
her attention was called to the blackboard and her back was turned
toward the children, several times she turned suddenly and looked at
Ella. She was rewarded for her vigilance by finally seeing Ella chewing.
Miss Kuhn seemed to congratulate herself on her keenness by remarking,
“Ella, didn’t I tell you to stop eating? I can tell what is going on
even if my back is turned. You may stay in at recess.”
