My attention was now called off by Miss Smith desiring me to hold a skein of thread: while she was winding it, she talked to me from time to time, asking whether I had ever been at school before, whether I could mark, stitch, knit, &c.; till she dismissed me, I could not pursue my observations on Miss Scatcherd's movements.
Nem figyelhettem oda tovább, mert Smith kisasszony arra kért, hogy tartsak neki egy matring pamutot. Mialatt azt legombolyította, mindenfélét kérdezgetett tőlem.
