Excerpt from 'Toinette: And Other Stories
Though not' specially attracted at first to'toinette, Lena felt sorry for her. As she ex pressed it, It seemed so mean for so many to be against one besides, she had a suspicion that 'toinette was not as indifferent to the treatment she was receiving as she pretended to be. Once she fancied she saw the proud, scornful lips quiver when Carrie Eastman said something about airs and patches not agreeing, with a meaning glance at 'toinette's shabby dress and once when she went forward and showed the girl where to find the box of ribbons she was nervous ly hunting for, Lena was sure there were tears in the brilliant eyes that met hers gratefully for an instant. That touched Lena's tender heart, and after that she quietly but steadily and openly was kind and friendly to 'toinette. In vain the girls sneered and teased and scolded. Lena only laughed good-nathredly and continued to teach and in a way to shield her new protégé.
