AUDUBON JOURNAL 



Room, I saw a Degree of Coolness in the appearance 



of the Lady of the Institution that along With My 



unfortunate or foohsh Natural awkwardness in similar 



Cases rendered My stay extremely disagreable; My 



Pupil who is generally Lively and full of Confidence 



in her actions Was at this time so astonishingly astray 



from her Work that not a line was properly Copied — I 



perceived the sarcastic Looks of the Diferent Teachers 



who Were present going the round and Was highly 



relieved When the Clock struck My Departure — a few 



Expressions uttered on My Entering, Joined to a few 



that reach"* My Ears (that burned all this while) as I 



was Making My Escape Made Me take the resolution 



Never again to trespass on that Threshold or any other 



Without first Knowing Well how it May agree with 



the Will of the first Caracters attached to them [It 



seems that there are good and bad ( — ) for everybody] 



My Lovely Miss Pirrie of Oackley Passed by Me this 



Morning, but did not remember how beautifull I had 



rendered her face once by Painting it at her Request 



with Pastelles; She Knew not the Man Who with the 



utmost patience and in fact attention Waitted on her 



Motions to please her — but thanks to My humble 



talents I can run the gantlet throu this World without 



her help
