23. Monday night was the first parent-teachers meeting,
and only the fact that the baby had a cold kept me from going.
I wanted passionately to meet Charles’s mother.

24. Our teacher had a friend come to see her
in school today. It was a man who came and
made us do exercise, we had to touch our toes.
Charles didn’t even do exercises.
And then he kicked the teacher’s friend.
Like this!!

25. During the third and fourth weeks it looked like a reformation in Charles; Laurie reported grimly at lunch on Thursday of the third week, Charles was so good today the teacher gave him an apple.

26. Charles was so good today the teacher gave him an apple.
You mean Charles?
What?

27. He gave the crayons around
and he picked up the books afterward and the teacher
said he was her helper.

28. Can something like this happen?
Wait and see!!

29. I sat restlessly, scanning each comfortable matronly face, trying to determine which one hid the secret of Charles. No one stood up in the meeting and apologized for the way her son had been acting.
At PTA meeting

30. We had a little trouble adjusting, the first week or so, but now he’s a fine little helper. With occasional lapses of course.
Laurie usually adjusts very quickly.
I suppose this time it’s Charles’s influence.
Charles?
We don’t have any Charles in the Kindergarten!!
Yes, you must have your hands full in that kindergarten with Charles.
I’ve been so anxious to meet you!
I’m Laurie’s mother.
Well, he certainly likes kindergarten.
He talks bout it all the time.
We’re all so interested in Laurie.
Charles?

31. Discussing the Selection
Q1: When did you begin to infer that
Laurie and Charles were probably
the same little boy?
Q2: Laurie’s teacher says to his mother.
”We are all so interested in Laurie.”
What inference do you draw from
this statement?
