our house is in the countryside.
I think it would be boring for you.

Hello?

Lets go shopping later.
Will you be able to go, Judy?
II be fine!

Say, Sadie, what gift would be suitable?
Well... My brother isn't fussy about gifts so its the thought that counts
Its difficult for me if you say that.
Ah! Those shoes woulclbe*nice.
Wow!]Fifty-fiye dollars!
For one pair of shoes?
That's amazing!
Oh, not really.
By the way, Judy, what are you going to buy7
I've already decided.
OhrWhat is it?
I!ll knit something for him.
#unrecognized text#
I haven't decided what to knit, though.
Among other things, there's no time
Socks, mittens*, or perhaps a scarf
J i>Oh, you don't spend much money, do you?
Well... Ever since I was little, all the presents I received were handmade.
But isn't it lovely to make presents yourself?
I wonderful should make a^present^myself?
#unrecognized text#
Why don't you make one too, Julia?
To think o^making something by hand.
ltd be embarrassing for me to give^him a homemade present
Please go on back to the dormitory.
I'm going to look for a fine present by myself.
I'm certainly careful when it comes to money.
This wont do.
This isn't what%Tiilo6kin<g for
Are you looking for something?
Then I'll take this one!
And III have this, and that one as well.
pay cash.
But that's such a lovely color!
It suits my brother perfectly!
You think so?
I'm sure he'll* be happy!
Say, what should I do with this?
Oh, that's... You do this, and line up the knots
I have returned.
m
Welcome back.
Wow! You did a lot of shopping!
You bought all that?
I couldn't find anything suitable
So what's all that?
My shoes and mittens.
And my coat
If you cant decide on a present, why don't you try making one with Judy
Its so much fun!
I cant believe that you're going to all the trouble
of making something that you can simply buy at a store.
To begin with, you're using such cheap wool.
She's in a bad mood.
#unrecognized text#
I was so close!
It's over!
Just two more exams!
I want our holidays to begin soon!
Wow. Youre quick!
How did you do in that exam?

You are still in high school!
This is a sacred place for learning. Its inappropriate!

My father.
About what?
Nothing in particular.
Now's not the time for talking about it.
Is Julia all right?
But she worked quite hard, didn't she?
I've had to change my opinion of her.
One, two, three...
#unrecognized text#

I'm begging you.
I won't let you do as you wish.
There is an important party tonight.
Come now, don't cry.
You'll ruin your beautiful face.
Let us be on our way.
Yes, Ma'am.
#unrecognized text#
Poor Julia.
I really feel sorry for Julia.
Dear Daddy Long Legs
because of this, Julia was unable to come with us, and I truly felt sorry for her
Because to be honest, I did not expect the party at Sallies house to be so much fun!
Jimmie was Santa Claus and gave presents to all the children.
And' then
We gave our presents to Jimmie.
Wow!
Julia made this?
He was surprised when he saw it
I wish >ulia could have szzr\ him.
I wonder what Julia s doing right now.
It must be hard for her to attend social parties
I heard that you couldn't go to Sallies house.
I was also forced to come here
I'm starting to understand how you feel.
I also detest parties like these.
This is what the upper class is like.
To protect our family's status we must give up our freedom
There you go again.
l/vvonder what Sallie and Judy are doing ri§ht now.m
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is brigftt
Round yon virgin, mother and child.
Holy infant so tender and mild.
Sleep in heavenly peace
Julia and I were chosen to be in one of Shakespeare's plays!
But Julia said that she doesn't want to play the part of a boy!
She(asked me to exchange roles with her.
Oh dear.
And she was so keen about doing it earlier.
