Excerpt from Sara Crewe, Little Saint Elizabeth, and Other Stories For the first year she was a favorite pupil; at least she was indulged a great deal more than was good for her. And when the Select Seminary went walking, two by two, she was always decked out in her grandest clothes, and led by the hand, at the head Of the genteel procession, by Miss Minchin herself. And when the parents Of any Of the pupils came, she was always dressed and called into the parlor with her doll and she used to hear Miss Minchin say that her father was a distinguished Indian Officer, and she would be heiress to a great fortune. That her father had inherited a great deal Of money, Sara had heard before; and also that some day it would be hers, and that he would not remain long in the army, but would come to live in London. And every time a letter came, she hoped it would say he was coming, and they were to live to gether again.
