Beryl's Triumph by Eglanton Thorne
Enthusiasm. "We would love to help Miss Burton, and it would be so much fun to have a real Sunday school." Miss Burton smiled at Beryl's eagerness. "Yes, Mr. Hollys, I believe Beryl and Coral would be a great help. They have already shown a desire to teach and share what they know. It would be a wonderful opportunity for them to learn responsibility and kindness." Mr. Hollys looked at his daughter, her eyes shining with excitement and hope. He knew how much this meant to her. "Very well," he said, nodding. "You have my permission. Let's see how it goes. But remember, Beryl, it's a commitment. You must be ready to help Miss Burton and be patient with the children." Beryl clapped her hands in delight. "Oh, thank you, papa! We will do our best, won't we, Coral?" Coral nodded eagerly, her face bright with anticipation. "Yes, we will!" As the conversation turned to planning the details of the Sunday school, Mr. Hollys felt a sense of satisfaction. He was proud of Beryl's initiative and her desire to do something meaningful. Perhaps this was the beginning of something good, not just for the village children, but for Beryl and Coral as well.

First lines
"DO make haste, Lucy; how slow you are! " exclaimed Beryl Hollys, as she impatiently shook the long, silken tresses, which her maid was carefully brushing. "Papa will be here before you have done my hair, I do believe."
"You need not be afraid of that, Miss Beryl," answered the maid quietly; "for Andrew has only just driven out of the yard, and it's a good three miles to the station. Master can't possibly be here yet awhile."
"Well, do make haste, anyhow! " returned Beryl, giving her head another toss; "there are ever so many things I want to do before papa comes."
