Bessie!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Yes, mother,\" replied Bessie Challoner. \"You'll be late for school,\u003cbr\u003echild, if you are not quick.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Bessie!\" shouted her father at the top of his voice from below stairs.\u003cbr\u003e\"Bessie; late as usual.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"I am really going, father; I am just ready,\" was the eager reply.\u003cbr\u003eBessie caught up her sailor hat, shoved it carelessly over her mass of\u003cbr\u003ethick hair, and searched frantically round her untidy bedroom for the\u003cbr\u003estring bag which contained her schoolbooks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Oh, Bessie, you'll get into a scrape,\" said Judy, one of her younger\u003cbr\u003esisters, dancing into the room. \"Why, you are late. I hear the\u003cbr\u003eschoolbell ringing; it will stop in a moment.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Don't worry me, Judy,\" cried Bessie. \"Do you know where my bag is?\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJudy ran into the middle of the room, turned round, and began to laugh\u003cbr\u003eecstatically. \"Do you know where it is, you little good-for-nothing?\u003cbr\u003eHave you put it hiding?\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Yes, yes, yes,\" screamed the child, jumping up and down in her joy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Then, if you don't give it to me at once, I'll--\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut Judy had dodged her and was out of the room. Up to the attic flew\u003cbr\u003ethe child, and after her dashed Bessie. The bag was found in the corner\u003cbr\u003eof the linen-cupboard. Bessie aimed a frenzied blow at Judy, who once\u003cbr\u003eagain dodged her, then the schoolgirl ran downstairs and was out of the\u003cbr\u003ehouse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Bessie, for shame!\" said her brother, who was standing smoking his\u003cbr\u003ecigarette in a very lazy manner in the garden. \"Why, you'll never get\u003cbr\u003efull marks.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Don't,\" said Bessie. \"I feel quite hunted between you all.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShe had got on the highroad now, and could walk away in peace. She was a\u003cbr\u003etall girl, somewhat bony-looking at present, with a face which showed\u003cbr\u003eabundance of intellect, large dreamy eyes, a wide mouth, a flat nose, a\u003cbr\u003elong chin. Bessie was certainly not at all a pretty girl; but,\u003cbr\u003enotwithstanding this fact, there were few of all the pupils at Middleton\u003cbr\u003eSchool who approached her in popularity. She was clever without being a\u003cbr\u003escrap conceited, and was extremely good-natured, doing her work for the\u003cbr\u003epleasure of doing it and not because she wanted to outstrip a\u003cbr\u003eschoolfellow. She was conscientious too, and would have scorned to do a\u003cbr\u003emean or shabby thing; but she was hopelessly untidy, careless to a\u003cbr\u003efault, late for school half her days, getting into countless scrapes and\u003cbr\u003egetting out of them as best she could--the butt of her class as well as\u003cbr\u003ethe favorite, always true to herself and indifferent to the censures or\u003cbr\u003ethe praise of her fellow-creatures.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47073775452400,"sku":"2940013881723","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013881723_p0.jpg?v=1763596590","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013881723","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
