some loose sheets lying on the desk and
he began to draw on one of them. He
looked up every moment and he always
looked at Jane Desborough. 1 don't think
anybody else noticed 1t, but / did. He was
making a sketch of her. But he had only
two or minutes at it before the lesson was

no time at all. and she wished we had draw
ing all the morning. I suppose she enjoys
being bullied more than ! do; but then, of
