Little Fox A Little Princess Chapter 1 Sarah Goes to School
2
On a dark winter's day,
3
a little girl sat in a cab with her father.
4
She stared out the window as the cab drove through foggy London.
5
Sarah Crew was only seven,
6
but she seemed much older.
7
She was always dreaming and thinking.
8
At that moment, she was thinking about her long trip from India.
9
She had just arrived in London with her father.
10
It felt strange to travel from a hot,
11
sunny place and arrive in a cold, dark one.
12
Soon the cab stopped in front of a big brick house.
13
A brass sign on the front door said,
14
Miss Minchin's boarding school for young ladies.
15
Papa, is this the place?
16
Sarah whispered.
17
Yes, he replied.
18
We have reached it at last.
19
Sarah's mother had died when Sarah was born.
20
Sarah's father was an officer in the British Army.
21
He was very rich and handsome and gave Sarah whatever she wanted.
22
Sarah had lots of toys and clothes.
23
Servants took care of all her needs.
24
In India, she'd had only one worry.
25
Her father believed that the climate in India wasn't healthy.
26
So one day, he would send her to school in England.
27
And now that day had come.
28
Captain Crew knocked on the door of the school.
29
A servant answered and led them inside.
30
Sarah looked around at the ugly sitting room with its heavy wooden furniture.
31
I don't like it here, Papa, she said.
32
But soldiers probably don't like going into battle either.
33
Captain Crew laughed.
34
Oh, Sarah, you say such wonderful things.
35
What will I do without you?
36
He swept her into his arms for a hug.
37
A moment later, the headmistress,
38
Miss Minchin, entered the room.
39
The headmistress had large, fishy eyes and a large, fishy smile.
40
Sarah thought the woman looked just like her school, tall, dull, ugly.
41
Miss Minchin knew that Captain Crew was rich.
42
She tried to please him by praising Sarah.
43
What a beautiful child, the headmistress exclaimed.
44
But I'm not beautiful, Sarah thought.
45
Miss Minchin is making that up.
46
Sarah stood quietly near her father while he and the headmistress talked.
47
Because Sarah's father was very rich,
48
Sarah would have many nice things at school.
49
There would be a pretty bedroom and sitting room and a pony and carriage.
50
A maid would help her.
51
Sarah reads too much, Captain Crew told the headmistress.
52
Make sure she goes outside.
53
She should ride her pony or buy some new dolls.
54
Oh, Papa, said Sarah.
55
I don't need a lot of new dolls.
56
I only need Emily.
57
Who's Emily? asked Miss Minchin.
58
Tell her, Sarah, Captain Crew said, smiling.
59
She's a special doll that Papa is going to buy for me, said Sarah.
60
She'll be my friend when Papa is in India.
61
I'll talk to her about him.
62
Miss Minchin's large fishy smile grew wider.
63
What an unusual child! she exclaimed loudly.
64
She's such a darling girl.
65
Yes, said Captain Crew.
66
He pulled Sarah close.
67
She is truly a darling girl.
68
Please take very good care of her for me, Miss Minchin.
69
Oh, I will, the headmistress promised.
70
Sarah stayed with her father at his hotel for several days.
71
He bought her all kinds of expensive clothes,
72
velvet dresses, fur coats, silk stockings.
73
They searched many toy shops looking for Emily, but couldn't find her.
74
She has to be a doll who can listen to me, Papa, explained Sarah.
75
Most dolls don't really seem to hear.
76
So they looked at big dolls and little ones,
77
at dolls with black eyes and dolls with blue ones.
78
They looked at dolls with brown curls and golden braids,
79
dolls in all kinds of clothing.
80
But none of them was quite right.
81
Then one day, Sarah spotted a doll with golden brown hair and an intelligent expression.
82
Look, Papa!
83
There's Emily!
84
She cried.
85
They went into the shop and bought the doll.
86
Then they went to a dressmaker to order a grand wardrobe for Emily.
87
Finally, the day came when Captain Crew had to leave.
88
He and Sarah were very sad.
89
From her window, Sarah watched him get into a cab.
90
Emily was by her side.
91
Miss Minchin sent her sister,
92
Miss Amelia, to check on Sarah.
93
Why is this door locked? asked Miss Amelia.
94
I want to be alone, please, said Sarah softly.
95
Miss Amelia went downstairs and told Miss Minchin about how Sarah was acting.
96
I've never seen such an odd child, said Miss Amelia.
97
She has locked herself in her room,
98
but she's not making any noise at all.
99
She's very spoiled, snapped Miss Minchin.
100
I'm surprised she isn't kicking and screaming.
101
All those new clothes are absolutely ridiculous.
102
Her father treats her like a little princess.
103
A Little Princess Chapter 2 First Day of Class The next morning,
104
Sarah had a long talk with her doll Emily about her father.
105
Papa is traveling on the sea now, said Sarah.
106
Emily said nothing, but Sarah was sure the doll was listening.
107
I believe that dolls have secrets,
108
Sarah told her maid, Mariette.
109
Perhaps Emily can read and walk and talk,
110
but she only does those things when no one is watching her.
111
Mariette smiled at Sarah.
112
It's time for school.
113
Just a minute, please, Sarah replied.
114
She went to Emily and gave her a book.
115
You can read this while I'm in class,
116
she said to the doll.
117
What an odd child, Mariette thought as she and Sarah went downstairs.
118
But Mariette knew she would like her new job as Sarah's maid.
119
Sarah was very kind and polite and had charming manners.
120
She's almost like a little princess, thought the maid.
121
By the time Sarah entered the classroom,
122
everyone was talking about her.
123
She has so many fancy clothes,
124
Lavinia Herbert whispered to her best friend Jessie.
125
I passed her room last night.
126
Her maid was opening a suitcase full of lace petticoats.
127
She's wearing one now.
128
I saw it when she sat down.
129
Lavinia was nearly 13 and thought of herself as almost grown up.
130
I heard Miss Minchin say it's absolutely ridiculous for a child to have such fancy clothes, she said.
131
I agree with her.
132
My mother says that children should always dress simply.
133
The two girls pretended to read their geography books,
134
but they were really sneaking looks at Sarah.
135
She's wearing silk stockings, whispered Jessie.
136
What tiny feet she has.
137
I don't think she's pretty at all, Lavinia sniffed.
138
Her eyes are such a strange color.
139
But there's something about her that makes you keep looking at her, said Jessie.
140
Her eyelashes are so dark and long,
141
and her eyes are almost green.
142
Meanwhile, Sarah sat quietly watching the other girls,
143
who were still staring at her.
144
Young ladies, said Miss Minchin.
145
I'd like to introduce you to your new classmate, Miss Sarah Crew.
146
All the girls stood up, and Sarah did too.
147
I expect you to be nice to Miss Crew.
148
She's just come to London from India.
149
After lessons are over, you will have time to get acquainted with Sarah.
150
The girls bowed to Sarah, who curtsied in reply.
151
Come here, Sarah, said Miss Minchin as the other girls sat down.
152
Sarah obediently went to Miss Minchin's side.
153
Your father hired a French maid for you, said the headmistress.
154
He must want you to learn French.
155
Sarah felt a little awkward.
156
I think he just thought that I'd like Mariette, she replied politely.
157
Miss Minchin frowned.
158
You sound very spoiled.
159
People don't always do things just to make you happy, Sarah.
160
Your father clearly wants you to learn French.
161
Sarah flushed, unsure of what to say.
162
Her mother had been French.
163
Her father had loved her mother and had often spoken French to Sarah.
164
But Miss Minchin looked so mean.
165
Sarah didn't know how to explain things to her.
166
I've never actually studied French, Sarah began.
167
But...
168
Well, then it's time you started to study it, the headmistress said impatiently.
169
Miss Minchin herself had never learned to speak French.
170
But this was an embarrassing secret that she didn't intend to share with anyone.
171
Here's our French teacher now, she added sharply.
172
Everyone, take out your French books.
173
Monsieur Defarge looked like a nice, intelligent man.
174
When he saw Sarah, he smiled.
175
Is this a new pupil for me, madame?
176
He asked.
177
Her father, Captain Crewe, is very eager for her to learn the language.
178
but I'm afraid that Sarah seems less eager to learn,
179
Miss Minchin replied with a frown.
180
Sarah rose in her seat,
181
suddenly feeling a bit desperate.
182
She felt sure that she could explain her situation to Monsieur Defarge,
183
and she did exactly that,
184
speaking to him in perfect French.
185
Miss Minchin started quite violently,
186
and then she glared at Sarah.
187
But Monsieur Defarge was already charmed by the girl who spoke his language so beautifully.
188
Ah, Miss Minchin, he said.
189
There isn't much I can teach Sarah.
190
She hasn't studied French.
191
She is French.
192
Miss Minchin's cheeks flushed.
193
You should have told me,
194
the headmistress snapped at Sarah.
195
I, I tried, said Sarah.
196
I guess I should have tried harder.
197
Lavinia and Jessie giggled from behind their French books.
198
Sarah had made the headmistress look a bit foolish.
199
Silence, young ladies!
200
Miss Minchin rapped on her desk.
201
Silence!
202
And from that moment on,
203
she began to dislike her new student.
204
A Little Princess Chapter 3 A New Friend That first morning at school,
205
Sarah noticed a plump blonde girl about the same age as Sarah.
206
The girl was chewing on the ribbon of her pigtail and staring at Sarah.
207
When Monsieur Defarge spoke to Sarah,
208
the plump girl looked a little frightened.
209
When Sarah replied in French,
210
the girl gave a startled jump and turned red.
211
Miss Minchin was still in a bad mood about Sarah's perfect French.
212
Miss St. John, stop chewing on your ribbon and sit up at once, she snapped.
213
The girl gave another startled jump.
214
Lavinia and Jesse giggled, and the girl turned redder than ever.
215
Sarah's father often remarked on Sarah's soft heart.
216
Sarah always wants to fight when she sees people in trouble,
217
he liked to say.
218
And that was certainly true now.
219
Those girls shouldn't laugh, thought Sarah.
220
That's mean.
221
But Lavinia and Jessie continued to snicker when the girl spoke in French for Monsieur Defarge.
222
Sarah felt sorry for this girl,
223
who had such trouble saying the French words correctly.
224
The French lessons were obviously quite difficult for her.
225
When the morning's lessons were finally finished,
226
the plump girl sat on a window seat, looking miserable.
227
Sarah went over to her.
228
What's your name? asked Sarah.
229
The girl seemed amazed that Sarah was talking to her.
230
My name is Ermengarde St. John, she replied.
231
Mine is Sarah Crew.
232
What a pretty name you have! exclaimed Sarah.
233
It sounds like a name from a story.
234
I like your name, too.
235
Where did you learn to speak French?
236
Ermengarde asked.
237
Oh, I've done it all my life, Sarah answered.
238
If you'd always heard French at home,
239
you could do it, too.
240
No, I don't think so, said Ermengarde sadly.
241
I'm not very smart.
242
Ermengarde explained that her father spoke seven or eight languages.
243
He had a huge library filled with thousands of books and couldn't understand why Ermengarde didn't do well in school.
244
He had told Miss Minchin that Ermengarde must be made to learn.
245
But at school, Ermengarde was often in trouble or in tears.
246
You're smart, aren't you?
247
Ermengarde said to Sarah.
248
Sarah looked out the window into the dirty square.
249
She could see some sparrows hopping along iron railings.
250
She thought for a minute.
251
Oh, I don't know.
252
Then suddenly she changed the subject.
253
Would you like to meet Emily?
254
Who's Emily? asked Ermengarde.
255
Come up to my room and see, replied Sarah.
256
Ermengarde followed Sarah upstairs.
257
Is it true? she asked.
258
That you have a playroom all to yourself?
259
Yes, Sarah answered.
260
Papa asked Miss Minchin to let me have one.
261
It's because I like to tell myself stories,
262
and the mood gets spoiled if I know people are listening.
263
Sarah stopped outside the door to her room.
264
If we're quiet, maybe we'll catch her, she said mysteriously.
265
Ermengarde blinked.
266
She had no idea what Sarah was talking about.
267
But Sarah's eyes were full of fun.
268
Ermengarde couldn't wait to see what happened.
269
Sarah threw open the door.
270
Ermengarde saw a beautiful doll sitting on a chair in front of the fire.
271
Oh, Emily is back in her seat.
272
Sarah sounded disappointed.
273
Can she walk?
274
Asked Ermengarde in surprise.
275
I like to pretend she can, said Sarah.
276
Don't you pretend such things?
277
No. Ermengarde was in awe of this strange girl.
278
Never.
279
May I hold Emily?
280
Of course, said Sarah.
281
And I'll tell you stories.
282
So they sat together, her green eyes shining.
283
Sarah told Ermengarde all about the secret life of dolls.
284
She also talked about life in India and the voyage to England.
285
When Sarah got to the part about finding Emily in the toy shop,
286
she suddenly looked upset.
287
Ermengarde had the feeling that Sarah was bravely trying not to cry.
288
What's wrong? she asked in alarm.
289
Do you love your father more than anything in the world?
290
Sarah burst out.
291
Ermengarde thought this was a strange question.
292
I hardly ever see him.
293
He's always in his library reading things.
294
Oh, I love my father and miss him so.
295
Sarah buried her head in her hands.
296
Ermengarde's mouth fell open a little.
297
Sarah was so wonderful and different from anyone else.
298
Sarah lifted her head.
299
If I keep telling you stories,
300
I won't miss him as much.
301
Tears came to Ermengarde's eyes and she felt a lump in her throat.
302
Lavinia and Jesse are best friends.
303
Do you think we could be best friends?
304
You're so smart and I'm not smart at all,
305
but I like you very much.
306
Of course we can be best friends, said Sarah.
307
Her face lit up.
308
And do you know what, Ermengarde?
309
I can help you with your French lessons.
