Excerpt from The Pool of Stars I wish it were not going to be so lonely for you, Betsey, he had said as he made preparations to go, but at least you will be busy. I am glad that we have found such a good school for you at last. A few more changes, and your education would have been wrecked entirely. Betsey had always meant to go to college and was now in the last half-year of her preparation. Trans fers from one school to another had indeed resulted in so much lost time that she was already a little be hind her proper class and would, so she agreed with her father, lose all chances of fulfilling her plans should she change again. She sighed deeply as she thought of it, sitting there upon the stone, for it was this very question that was casting shadows over a very brilliant prospect.
