Friday

What do you think, Daddy? The English instructor said that my last paper 36 an unusual amount of originality. She did, truly. Those were her 37 . It doesn’t seem possible, does it, 38 the eighteen years of training that I’ve had? The 39 of the John Grier Home is to turn the ninety-seven orphans into ninety-seven twins.

The unusual artistic ability which I 40 was developed at an early age through drawing chalk pictures of Mrs. Lippett on the door.

I hope that I don’t hurt your feelings when I take a 41 to the home of my youth? But you have the upper hand, you know, for 42 I become too impolite, you can always stop payment of your cheques. That isn’t a very polite thing to say—but you can’t 43 me to have any manners; a foundling asylum (育婴堂) isn’t a young ladies’ finishing school.

You know, Daddy, it isn’t the work that is going to be 44 in college. It’s the play. Half the time I don’t know 45 the girls are talking about; their jokes seem to relate to a past that everyone 46 me has shared. I’m a foreigner in the world and I don’t 47 the language. It’s a miserable feeling. I’ve had it all my life. At the high school the girls 48 stand in groups and just look at me. I was 49 and everybody knew it. I could FEEL ‘John Grier Home’ written on my face. And then a few kindly ones would make a point of coming up and saying something 50 . I HATED EVERY ONE OF THEM—the kindly ones most of all.

Nobody here knows that I was 51 in an asylum. I told Sallie McBride that my mother and father were 52 , and that a kind old gentleman was sending me to college which is 53 true, so far as it goes. I don’t want you to think I am a coward(懦夫), but I do want to be like the other girls, and that Dreadful Home is the one great big difference. If I can 54 my back on that and shut out the remembrance, I think, I might be just as 55 as any other girl. I don’t believe there’s any real, underneath difference, do you?

Anyway, Sallie McBride likes me!

Yours ever, Judy Abbott (Nee Jerusha. )
