Chapter 3
Ermengarde

On that first morning, when Sara sat at Miss Minchin's side, she noticed a girl. She was sitting in amazement when Sara spoke to Monsieur Dufarge. It was very difficult for this girl to learn French. She stared at Sara so hard and bit the ribbon on her pigtail so bad that Miss Minchin noticed her.

“Miss St. John!” she exclaimed severely. “Get your elbows off the table! Take your ribbon out of your mouth! Sit up at once!”

Lavinia and Jessie giggled. Miss St. John looked as if she wanted to cry. Sara saw her and was so sorry for her that she began rather to like her and want to be her friend.

After the classes the pupils gathered together in groups to talk, Sara looked for Miss St. John. She found her sitting by the window all alone. She walked over to her and spoke.
