Ep. 6: Sara beschützt die Analphabetin Becky vor der Grausamkeit der Schulleiterin im Seminar

6

The Headmistress reads the letters written by the students and has them sealed and mailed. Amelia suggests that Sara help with the errand, allowing Lottie to accompany Sara. Sara meets an illiterate girl, Becky, who is looking for the head of Miss Minchin's Select Seminary for Young Ladies. The Headmistress is disgusted with Becky's presence in her office, and she tells Amelia to summon the head maid Molly. The Headmistress tells Sara that she dislikes servants, and reprimands Amelia for involving Sara in her subterfuge. She is contemptuous of Becky, not allowing her to settle in before beginning work at the Seminary. James introduces himself while Molly tells Becky to deliver coal and do other chores she does not know how to do. Cesar trips Becky, and the coal flies everywhere. Sara prevents Becky from being fired, and Becky goes home with orders to get up early and light the fire; Becky being fired may be the lesser of two problems. (Source: Wikipedia)
