Explore "Marjories's Vacation" by Carolyn Wells on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Marjorie had expected to derive much satisfaction, during her sojourn / on the stairs, from playing with her kitten. But Puff ran away almost / immediately, and no amount of calling or coaxing could bring her back.
Sighing deeply, Marjorie tried to amuse herself reading the books she / had brought. But the light was not very good on the stairs, and / somehow, too, the books seemed to have lost their interest. Thinking / over what she could do to make the time pass, she remembered her / paint-box. She was fond of painting, and concluded she would try to / paint a little sketch of the stairs to put in her Memory Book to / represent this dreadful day.
