　　CHAPTER FOUR

　　My New Friend

　　I could not understand Helen's ideas, but I had a feeling she was right. I looked at her in amazement.

　　"You say you have faults, Helen. What are they? To me you seem very good."

　　"You are wrong," she answered. "I am careless, and I forget the rules of the school. I read when I should be doing my homework. So, Miss Scatcherd is right to scold me."

　　"Is Miss Temple as strict as that?" I asked.

　　A soft smile passed over Helen's normally serious face.

　　"Miss Temple is very kind. She is full of goodness. She gently tells me my mistakes, and is always happy when I do well.

　　But even when she helps me, I am always dreaming, and thinking about other things. Then I can't answer the teacher's questions."

　　"But today in history class you knew all the answers!" I said.

　　"I thought it was an interesting subject, that's all," she replied.
