She led the way into the cheerful schoolroom, where big girls and little girls were sitting about, amusing themselves in the quiet of a long Sunday afternoon.  Several of the younger children ran to her as she came in, and stood holding fast to the folds of her black habit, staring up at the strangers, while she explained the kind of instruction given, the system, and the order reigning in each department.  Finally, she persuaded a little girl, only six years old, to take her dusky face out of the long flowing veil of the nun, and show how quickly she could read a sentence that Sister Winifred wrote on the blackboard.  Then others were called on, and gave examples of their accomplishments in easy arithmetic and spelling.  The children must have been very much bored with themselves that stormy Sunday, for they entered into the examination with a quite unnatural zest.  Two of the elder girls recited, and some specimens of penmanship and composition were shown.  The delicate complexion of the little nun flushed to a pretty wild-rose pink as these pupils of hers won the Colonel's old fashioned compliments. 
Do you have any questions?
Who was among the strangers in the schoolroom with the nun
Hon ledde vägen in i det muntra skolrummet, där stora flickor och små flickor sutto omkring, roande sig i det tysta en lång söndagseftermiddag. Flera av de yngre barnen sprang fram till henne, då hon kom in, och stodo fast vid vecken på sin svarta vana, stirrande upp på främlingarna, medan hon förklarade det slags undervisning, systemet och ordningen regerande i varje avdelning. Slutligen övertalade hon en liten flicka, endast sex år gammal, att ta sitt dunkla ansikte ur nunnans långa flödande slöja, och visa hur snabbt hon kunde läsa en mening, som syster Winifred skrev på svarta tavlan. Sedan blev andra anropade och gav exempel på deras prestationer i lätt aritmetik och stavning. Barnen måste ha varit mycket uttråkade av sig själva den stormiga söndagen, ty de inträdde i undersökningen med en alldeles onaturlig smak. Två av de äldre flickorna reciterade, och några exemplar av handstil och komposition visades. Den lilla nunnans fina hy spolades till en ganska vildrosa rosa när hennes elever vann överstens gamla komplimanger. Har du några frågor?
