She maketh me to sit up in 'French class and taketh away my playthings but restoreth them after school. She lead- eth me in thei paths of knowledge for my own sake.

Sl1e maketh me to show my ignorance in the presence of my classmates till my temper boileth over. Surely goodness and that dog-gone French book will haunt me the rest of my life, and I will remain in the French class forever.
