A group of young faces

I can recall a little group of young faces—schoolgirls, I fancy—smiling down on me in admiration!—the feminine kind that never fails an infant.

And that can hardly but have been before I could talk. But there is no means of making certain.

[Written in 1935 on pages 172 -173 in the author's book, Early One Morning in the Spring.]
