The Greatest Trial of My Life

Little raphael had a decided talent for drawing, and was never so happy as when copying flowers, designing fairies or illustrating stories with queer specimens of art. Her teachers complained that instead of doing her sums, she covered her slate with animals. She could play 12 tunes, crochet and read french without mispronouncing more than two thirds of the words. And day after day said hopefully to herself, i know i'll get my music some time, if i'm good.
