MADGE MORTON'S VICTORY CHAPTER I COMMENCEMENT DAY AT MISS TOLLIVER'S
"O Phil, dear! It is anything but fair. If you only knew how I hate to

"If you begin worrying about that now, you won't be able to read your
essay half as well," declared Phil impatiently. "Please sit still for a
minute and wait until Miss Jenny Ann calls us." Phil pushed Madge gently toward the big armchair... Continue reading book >>
