Would you mind reading my research paper?" Ouisa asked her best friend Petrie. He smiled but shook his head.
"I can't right now," he told her regretfully. "I have to finish this lab worksheet for biology before next period. If you can wait for half an hour, I can read it then."
"I hate waiting," said Ouisa. "Maybe someone else in the library will help me."
"It looks like Nagata is sitting in the corner over there," Petrie told her.
"Nagata and I are mortal enemies, Petrie," Ouisa reminded him. "We have been in competition with each other since we were in diapers. I can't ask her for a favor."
"It doesn't look like you have much choice," Petrie replied distractedly. He wanted to help his friend, but the pressure of having a report due after lunch was weighing on his mind. Ouisa tried not to let her hurt feelings show as she walked over to Nagata's table.
"I don't suppose you'd be willing to review my research paper?" Ouisa asked reluctantly. Nagata looked up at her in surprise.
"Of course, Ouisa!" she replied. "I'm always willing to help my classmates with their studies." As Nagata scanned the research paper, she grabbed her red marker and began making changes. Ouisa watched in horror as Nagata changed nearly every sentence.
"There you go," Nagata said when she was finished. "If you make these changes, you're guaranteed to get an A. I took Dr. Mikram's class last year, and I know exactly how he grades papers." Ouisa hurried back to Petrie with her mouth open in shock and tears welling up in her eyes.
"I never realized what a terrible writer I am," she told her friend. "I should start over from scratch." Petrie, who had finally finished his report, looked up at her in alarm. He took the paper out of her hands and began reading.
"Ouisa, this is ridiculous," Petrie said. "These changes don't make any sense. I think Nagata is trying to sabotage your grade."
"I should have known better than to ask her for help!" exclaimed Ouisa. "Next time, I will be patient and wait for help from a true friend."
"And I'll start finishing my homework

Then I met Bill Tantum. Bill's nickname was "Mr.
Titanic," because he knew so much about the ship. I
would sit and listen for hours as he told me the
spellbinding story of what had happened the night she
sank. Together we would talk about my dream of finding
her. The Titanic began to mean more to me than simply a
challenging target to find in the deep ocean. This greatest
of all sea disasters soon gripped me as a fascinating and
moving human drama. Now the Titanic had me
completely under her spell!

“What are you doing here?” she said, and she took Mary by the arm and pulled her away. “What did I tell you?”

“I turned round the wrong corner,” explained Mary. “I didn’t know which way to go and I heard someone crying.” She quite hated Mrs. Medlock at the moment, but she hated her more the next.

“You didn’t hear anything of the sort,” said the housekeeper. “You come along back to your own nursery or I’ll box your ears.”

And she took her by the arm and half pushed, half pulled her up one passage and down another until she pushed her in at the door of her own room.

“Now,” she said, “you stay where you’re told to stay or you’ll find yourself locked up. The master had better get you a governess, same as he said he would. You’re one that needs someone to look sharp after you. I’ve got enough to do.”

She went out of the room and slammed the door after her, and Mary went and sat on the hearth-rug, pale with rage. She did not cry, but ground her teeth.
