About this book
An unfinished lesson leaves eleven-year-old Marjorie West shivering in a country schoolroom after school. She has spent her study time reading a storybook, and now must work through arithmetic problems and repeated spellings. When a classmate offers a shortcut, Marjorie insists on doing the task honestly. Mrs. Nathaniel Conklin's novel places this small test of conscience within a larger account of two girls' lives, with Christian belief shaping its treatment of growing up.
The later excerpt shifts into a lively letter to Linnet, full of reading, patchwork, and thoughts about a future husband. A snowstorm brings Morris to the house, where he helps with household work and tends the animals. School discipline and domestic companionship give the book its everyday scale.
