-----------------------------------------

I remained a bit in the background and tried very hard to concentrate upon  
the fact that if one were a lady, one stood very straight with toes turned  
slightly  out and never under any circumstances did a lady stare at  strangers 
without first remembering to  close her mouth.  

  Mother had been to a finishing school and she tried to "finish  me" after  
the same pattern. She almost did, but not in the way that she  intended. 

  She tried very hard to teach me to curtsey (Kirchy, I called  it). I could 
not see a bit of use  in it, but really wanted to please  Mother. If she 
wanted me to crook my legs when elder people  spoke to me,  very well, I would try 
to do it. But something seemed to be the matter,  maybe  something was wrong 
with my legs. They just simply would not bend in  the right place. I can see  
now that the defect was temperamental. I must  have exasperated Mother to the 
limit of her  endurance. She boxed my ears  frequently and sometimes even 
oftener than that. In justice  Mother, I will  admit that I probably needed it. I 
was very dumb and without the power of   expressing myself, and the many 
injunctions to be remembered by a real lady,  just would not stay with me.
