About this book

A gold ring and a gold dollar make Comfort Pease feel rich long before she can use either gift. Named for the aunt who gave them to her, she treasures the moments when her mother opens the rosewood box where they are kept. At ten, Comfort enters school and finds that a ring can become a source of envy, pride and unwanted attention. Rosy Stebbins displays her own ring, while Rosy's sister Matilda takes Comfort's side.

Mary Eleanor Wilkins Freeman's short story follows the child's small worries with close attention to classroom life. A strict teacher, whispered comparisons and a snowy recess turn a treasured possession into a serious responsibility. When Comfort fears that her ring has slipped from her pocket, even her lunch loses its appeal.
