Her lack of education was perhaps rather her misfortune than her fault. Those who knew her realized her many fine qualities, yet she made few friends beyond her own borders, -and because she was independent and poor, her richer neighbors were suspicious of her and jealous. This one and that one set upon her. They were jealous when she first put on regal robes.

"No, Fritz, I cannot-" "You will not." "Well, then I will not ask mother to invite you to go on with us." Amy spoke decidedly, but Fritz was not ready to give up. "Oh, Amy, do be reasonable! I cannot say anything more to your mother, for you are in an obstinate mood, evidently determined to persuade yourself that you do not wish us to travel with you." "That is true; I do not wish you to go on with us." "But you and I are such friends." "So we are, and so we shall continue to be. Because we are such friends, I am sure that you will forgive me for being so-" "So unreasonable." "No-reasonable. Now just look at the whole thing sensibly. Here we are-mamma and I and two girls." "What do you call yourself? Aren't you a girl?"

"Of course it's great to go to Europe; any one would jump at the chance, but still--" As the speaker, a bright-eyed girl of sixteen, paused, her companion, slightly younger, continued: "Yes, I know what you mean-it doesn't seem just like Irma to go away before school closes. Why, if she misses the finals, she may have to drop from the class next year." "Probably she expects Italy to help her in her history and Latin." "Travelling is all very well," responded the other, "but there's nothing better than regular study. Why, here's Irma coming," she concluded hastily; "she can speak for herself." "You are surely gossiping about me," cried Irma pleasantly, as she approached her two friends seated on the front steps of Gertrude's house. "You have surely been gossiping, for you stopped talking as soon as you saw me, and Lucy looks almost guilty." "Listeners sometimes hear good of themselves," replied Lucy, "but we'll admit we have been wondering how you made up your mind to run away from school. I shouldn't have dared."
