Poor little Ann colored and her lips trembled . She really felt dreadfully excited , and it was terrible to have to bottle up all her thoughts during the long , hot day .

At three o'clock the ordinary lessons began again , and went on without interruption until five , when there was tea .

The ten lines were difficult , and the little girl felt sleepy , cross , and dissatisfied .
