- •4Th summer:
Two letters:
Her story ‘When the Sophomores Won the Game’ was accepted. 50$. The book’s price was 10 cents.
A letter from a college secretary. She was to have a scholarship for two years that would cover board and tuition. It was founded for ‘marked proficiency(опыт) in English with general excellency in other lines’. So, the monthly allowance would be all she needed.
3rd study year:
Daddy didn’t want her to tale the scholarship, bus she had already accepted it and was not going to change.
Judy’s ultimatum: if Daddy made any more fuss, she wouldn’t accept the monthly allowance either, but would wear herself into a nervous wreck stupid Freshmen. He could apply the money that he would have spent her toward education some other little girl from the JGH. ‘Only, Daddy, educate the new girl as much as you choose, but please don’t like her any better than me’.
He decided not to pay attention to Daddy’s secretary suggestions. ‘He is a spoiled chiled’. She was going to be firm.
Julia invited her to visit her for the Xmas holidays. Judy would prefer to go to Sallie, but Julia asked her first. She didn’t know why Julia wanted her – she seemed to be getting quite attached to Judy of late. She was awed(трепетала) at the prospect of meeting Pendletones en masse.
She was reading ‘Life and Letters of Thomas Huxley’. It was nice light reading to pick up between times.
She had elected economics that year – very illuminating subject. She was going to take Charity and Reform.
She was 21 the previous week.
Daddy let her visit Julia.
They had Founder’s dance. Judy invited Jimmie McBride, Sallie invited his roommate at Princeton, who visited them last summer at their camp – an awfully nice man with red hair – and Julia invited a man from New York, not very exciting, but socially irreproachable. He was connected with the De la Mater Chichester.
Girls’ dresses: Julia’s was cream satin and gold embroidery(вышивкой), and she wore purple orchids. It was dream and came from Paris, and cost a million dollars. Sallie’s was pale blue trimmed with Persian embroidery, and went beautifully with red hair. It didn’t cost quite a million, but was just as effective, as Julia’s. Judy’s was pale pink crepe de chine trimmed with ecru lace(кружево) and rose satin. And I carried crimson(тёмно-красные) roses which J. McB. sent. And they all had satin slippers and silk stockings and chiffon scarfs to match.
What a clourless life a man is forced to lead.
She understood she was pretty.
Xmas presents from Daddy: the furs, the necklace, the Liberty scarf, the gloves, the handkerchiefs, book and purse.
New York was an engrossing(увлекательное) place. Judy had an interesting and illuminating time, but she was glad she didn’t belong to such a family.
Pendletons’ house: The material atmosphere of the house was crushing. All the furniture was carved and upholstered and gorgeous; people she met there were beautifully dressed and low-voiced and well-bred, but Judy never heard one word of real talk from the time they arrived until they left.
Mrs Pendleton never thought of anything but jewels and dressmakers and social engagements.
If Judy would have a family, she was going to make them as exactly McBrides as she could.
She saw Jervis only once when he called at tea time, and then she didn’t have a chance to talk to him alone.
Judy thought to be a Socialist, too. She belonged to the proletariat.
The true secret of happiness – to live in the now. She was going to enjoy every second, and she was going to know she was enjoying it while she was enjoying it. ‘Most people don’t live; they just race. They are trying to reach some goal far away on the horizon’.
She was a Fabian, a Socialist who was willing to wait.
Judy had passed successfully her mid-year examinations. She was leaving chemistry and entering upon the study of biology. She approached that subject with some hesitation(сомнением).
They were reading Wordsworth’s ‘Tintern Abbey’.
She liked the Romantic movement (Shelley, Byron, Keats, Wordsworth) MORE THAN THE Classical period that preceded it. She read Tennyson’s ‘Locksley Hall’.
There was a swimming tank in the gymnasium and Sallie had given Judy her bathing-suit.
They were going to Princeton to attend a dance and a ball game. Judy didn’t ask Daddy if she might go, because she had a feeling that his secretary would say no.
Judy’s 3 new dresses: white, pink and blue polka dots with a hat to match.
‘A girls’ college is a busy place and we do get tired by the end of the day’.
She told how she was learning to swim.
She had been receiving beautiful long letters that winter from Master Jervie (with typewritten envelopes). And every week or so she received a very scrawly epistle(короткое послание), usually on yellow tablet paper from Jimmie.
She had been elected a member of the Senior Dramatic Club.
In sociology she was writing a paper on the Care of Dependent Children.
Julia was going abroad. Judy would never attempt the Adirondacks again as she had been discouraged the previous year. Judy was going to spend the summer at the seaside with a Mrs Charles Paterson and tutor(учить) her daughter who was to enter college in the autumn. She met her through the McBrides, and she was a very charming woman, Judy was to give lessons in English and Latin to the younger daughter. She would be earning 50$ a month. She finished at Magnolia (that was where she lived) the 1st of September and was going to spend 3 weeks at Lock Willow Farm.
She was getting independent.
3rd summer:
Daddy wished to send her to Europe that summer and she was intoxicated by the idea, but she decided to refuse.
She told Jervis that Daddy had invited her to go with a lady who was chaperoning a party of girls. He insisted on her going to Europe. He said it was a necessary part of her education and that she mustn’t think of refusing. They quarreled.
She packed her trunk and came up Magnolia. She was at Cliff Top (the name of Mrs Paterson’s cottage).
Florence (the little one) was a most uncommonly spoiled child; Judy would have to teach her first how to study – she had never in her life concentrated on anything more difficult than ice cream soda water.
She taught the girls Latin, English and algebra. She didn’t know how Marion (the second daughter) was going to get into college, or stay in after got there. Florence was helpless, but such a little beauty. [stupid but beautiful]
She received a letter from Jervis in Paris; she was not quite forgiven yet for refusing following his advice. If he came back in time, he would see her at Lock Willow Farm.
She received a letter from Sallie, she wanted her to come to their camp for 2 weeks. She decided not to ask Daddy for permission and go there. She wanted to have a rest and wanted Master Jervie to arrive at Lock Willow and fid her not here.
‘I must show him that he can’t dictate me. No one can dictate to me but you, Daddy – and you can’t always’.
She was at Adirondacks. Daddy’s letter hadn’t come in time. ‘If you wish your instructions to be obeyed, you must have your secretary transmit(передавать) them less than 2 weeks’.
Jervis had decided not to go to Lock Willow as he had accepted an invitation to go yachting with some friends. He knew all the time that Judy had been with the McBrides, for Julia had told him so. ‘You men ought to leave intrigue to women; you haven’t a light enough touch’.
