Anne's smile put Mable at ease.  She returned it, reaching out and linking her arm in Anne's again.

"Oh, Anne, it is very nice!  Nicer than any place I'd ever even though existed!  Let alone be allowed inside.  It's very large and pretty, with curtains and nice new wooden desks and very plush chairs.  Mine and my brother's room is one of the smaller ones, but I still think it very extragent - extravagant?  Extravagant!"

To her, it felt more like being in a castle, but Mable still preferred being outside than cooped up all day.

"Maybe if we ask your father just now when we see him, he'll be more aggregable!  I'm very charming when I need to be, and we're obviously such wonderful friends!"
