To avoid violence -JL ,4 from the father (for his attitude towards education was d nil) Laura and her mother went to bed as usual but later i i sneaked out and hitched the horse and loaded the buggy with baggage and drove eleven miles to Wcyburn so she ' • » IA]H| could stay with her grandparents to go to school. The mother returned before dawn and continued the ! day ' s routine saying nothing until the sunset of the day. She faced the issue and told the father how she had taken v Laura away in the night.

If Laura thinks she needs education, how much more does my son who is handicapped for manual laboi. You freshen up his shirts and take him to school tomorrow.
