I guess I was better than the others because after the meeting, Miss Chevalier asked if I would recite the whole poem to the Saturday Club. (paragraph 4)

I only got halfway through the poem when Miss Chevalier stopped me and asked if I knew what impetuous meant. (paragraph 7)

I’m sure I turned bright red, but Miss Chevalier pretended not to notice.... (paragraph 8)

I had never been asked for my opinion, but I knew I couldn’t keep her waiting. . . . (paragraph 11)
