Excerpt from Early Friendships: A Tale
Mrs. Gilbert kindly took her by the hand, and, conducting her to the school-room, introduced her to her young companions. Poor Helen's tears now flowed faster than ever. She felt that, to be lonely in a crowd, was incomparably worse than being lonely in solitude; and she wished that she might have been permitted to retire to her cham ber, or even to have remained in the dark passage, rather than be compelled to encounter so many inquiring glances. The entrance of a stranger suspended the bustle of the play-room. Some of the least reserved of the girls crowded round the new comer, and wished her to join their party. A momentary contention ensued, as to the right of companionship, whether vested in the senior pupil in the establishment, or her who gave the first invitation, or her whose chamber Helen was to share. Leaving the disputants to settle the matter among themselves, Helen suffered herself to be led away to the group of the successful claimant; and the sports, which her entrance had interrupted, were quickly resumed.
