Adele Doring at Boarding School

98 pages 

Adele Doring sang merrily as she stood in front of the library mirror placing her rose-
colored tam-o’-shanter jauntily on the nut-brown locks that curled about her pretty face in
soft ringlets.
“Are you glad that vacation is over, little daughter?” Mrs. Doring asked as she came in
from the garden with a big bowl of yellow chrysanthemums, which she placed on the
magazine-strewn table.
“Oh, Mumsie!” Adele exclaimed as she whirled about with shining eyes. “I seem to be
always delighted over each new thing that happens. Last summer I was so glad to go with
brother Jack to the desert and I had such a beautiful time with Eva and Amanda on their
Uncle Dick’s interesting cattle ranch, and then how glad I was to come home again to my
Adorable Mother and my Giant Daddy. I have had a wonderful vacation, and now, I am just
ever so eager to go back to school, and, think of it, Mumsie, I am in the eighth grade this
term, and next year I shall be going to Dorchester High with my big brother Jack.”
