The Courage of Sarah Noble

Hook:

"We shall see, her mother said.  But if you are to be a teacher, you will have to start again with your reading and writing.  And,  Sarah, it is time for bed.  There had been nights when Sarah had not liked to hear the words time for bed.  Now she loved the sound of her mother's voice saying them.  That night Sarah slept warm under the quilts.  On a peg near by hung her cloak-and she did not need it.  She had kept up her courage and it was somthing that would be always with her.  Always-even when the cloak was all worn out.  Tonight the pictures in her mind were comfortable ones-home  -family-the fireside and a door securely fastened.  The light from the fire made pleasant patterns in the darkness.  Sarah lay quietly, and the wing in the trees sang her to sleep"(last page)
