And then—just as I was settling down with a sigh of well-earned relief to “The Portrait of a Lady,” a girl named Ackerly, a dough-faced, deadly, unintermittently stupid girl, who sits next to me in Latin because her name begins with A ( I wish Mrs. Lippett had named me Zabriski ), came to ask if Monday’s lesson commenced at paragraph 69 or 70, and stayed ONE HOUR. She has just gone.

​

Did you ever hear of such a discouraging series of events?

It isn’t the big troubles in life that require character.

Anybody can rise to a crisis and face a crushing tragedy with courage, but to meet the petty hazards of the day with a laugh—I really think that requires spirit.

​

It’s the kind of character that I am going to develop.

I am going to pretend that all life is just a game which I must play as skilfully and fairly as I can.

If I lose, I am going to shrug my shoulders and laugh—also if I win.

​

Anyway, I am going to be a sport. You will never hear me complain again, Daddy dear, because Julia wears silk stockings and centipedes drop off the wall.

Yours ever,

Judy.

Answer soon.
