Men who wink are weak and unable to provide for a family.

  I am very sorry for you and wish
you could go on to school, as an educa-
tion is one of the greatest assets you
can have.  Since your father is ill, I
believe the best thing for you to do
would be to go to work.  But one thing
that you should do, is to arrange to
take a course at (blank) school in
the (blank).  That way you can soon
prepare yourself to become a (blank) or
(blank) keeper and obtain a good posi-
tion with pleasant (blank).  May-
be in a few years an opportunity will
be offered so that you can get more
education.  But be sure to attend
(blank) school and get all you can in
that way.

Fill in the blanks correctly and you will earn ten points for each correct answer.  But wait, did I say ten points?  It is now Double Points Friday, so make that twenty points for each correct answer.  There are six blanks up there.

There was a little girl,
            Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
            When she was good,
            She was very good indeed,
But when she was bad she was horrid.

Poor thing, having to skip school and go to work under hard circumstances at 14! But she is of good intentions, and will go far, I think.  :)

Sheer luck, I assure you. I had a high intention of doing well at least a couple of times as we close down 1919 and move on to 1920. Looking forward to it... I think! 

I think @anniem is the true Mrs. Thompson wisperer!
