1. The first Wednesday in every month (be) a Perfectly Awful Day. Every floor must be spotless, every chair dustless and every bed without a wrinkle. Ninety seven
little orphans must be scrubbed and combed and reminded of their manners and told to say "Yes, sir", "No, sir", whenever a Trustee (speak).
It (be) a distressing time; and poor Jerusha Abbott (have) to bear the brunt of it. But this particular Wednesday, like its predecessors, finally (drag) itself to a close. Jerusha (escape) from the pantry where she (make) sandwiches and (turn) upstairs to do her regular work. Her special care (be) room F. Jerusha (assemble) her charges, (straighten) their frocks, (wipe) their noses and (send) them to the
dining-room.Then she (drop) down on the window seat and (lean) her forehead against the cool glass. She (be) on her feet since five that morning.The day (to end) — quite successfully, so far as she (know). The Trustees and
the visiting committee (make) their rounds and (read) their reports and (drink) their tea. And now they (hurry) home.
2. In the early morning he (awake) and (look) out upon a small town just arising from sleep. Lights (come on), soft voices (mutter). A porter (move by), a shadow in shadows.
"Sir," (say) Willie.The porter (stop).
"What town is this?" (whisper) the boy in the dark.
"Valleyville. Is this your stop?"
"It (look) green, "Willie (gaze) out at the cold morning town for a long time.
"It (look) nice and quiet."
"Son," (say) the porter, "you know where you (go)?"
"Here," said Willie.
"I hope you know what you (do), boy," said the porter.
"Yes, sir," said Willie. "I know what I (do)." And he (be) down the dark aisle, luggage lifted for him by the porter, and out in the cold morning.
He (watch) the black train until it was completely gone away and out of sight. Then, as the sun (rise), he (begin) to walk very fast, so as to keep warm, down into the new town.
