Gloria at Boarding School

No one heard her the little clock on the corner shelf ticked away and never “let on” for new girls coming to that room were no novelty to the clock. They came and went yearly sometimes oftener and what difference did it make that this one chuckled? Those who sighed or even those who wept always got over it in time. No doubt the dark haired girl would get over her rather cynical defiance of Miss Alton’s rules for lady-like deportment. Also she might in time learn to sit on a chair properly.
