第23話: 雨の配達中にパン屋でサラがコインを見つける

23

Sara awakens one rainy morning to Becky suggesting that they search for leftover food to get them through the workday, but they are caught by Molly. Sara does not realize that the Headmistress is angry because Lottie told her about Lavinia, Jessie and Gertrude's prank. Tasked with a retaliatory rainy-day mail run, Sara finds a fourpence coin in front of a bakery and the baker encourages her to buy some bread. After mailing the Headmistress's letter and being told by a priest that it is all right to think about oneself, Sara goes to the bakery and sees a street urchin far worse off than she. Sara's intercession inspires the baker to offer the urchin shelter, but she and Becky again go hungry back at the Seminary. (Source: Wikipedia)
