IN her brain that made her know things never under

the visit to Emmy, TO have her, the undcsired and
loved child, we'll out of the way
She wcpt as long the tears would BY the

She began to look for the which went the
making of this situation. Why did her parents love
Gcncvicvc better than they loved herr Why was she
not adored Emmy Woods adored by her mother?
Thinking of Emmy made her remember the green bottle
and that she had been seeking sympathetic conessor
to tell of its when the knowledge of her unloyed

brother Bob was an Eldest Child. But she had been
placed by unkind fate in the most position
possble-shc ~ ihc middle. She began TO think
that the fairy stories wrong and that Cinderella

to Middle when she, quite by accident, broke

TO a quiet library where her father would sit sernly
waiting and after lot of talk about how awful she was
and what disappointment her parents, pun

At this point the Of sefdefense brought her
to decision:
