[Sidenote: “Steady Company”]
Miss Snow was talking to the children one noon about the moving pictures
which were to be exhibited in the neighboring church on the following
evening. “Can we go, Miss Snow?” asked the children.
“Those children can go whose parents accompany them,” was the reply.
“Humph,” remarked an overgrown girl. “Do your parents go along with
you?”
“O, Gordy takes her,” spoke up one of the older boys. Miss Snow looked
up just long enough to give the faintest little smile and then went on
with her conversation as though it had not been interrupted.
The big boy thought he “was going to have some fun with the teacher,”
but the results of his effort were so meagre that he was not encouraged
to try again.
