Jewell's Corner: The Naughtiest Girl

The Naughtiest Girl                        Chapter 2          Story 1

For the rest of the time Elizabeth could have at home Elizabeth tried being very naughty and also very good. "I'll see what being obedient and polite does. Maybe mother will change her mind then". So to everybody's surprise Elizabeth became the most sweet-tongued and well-mannered person. But unfortunately that had quite the wrong effect because her mother said something different! "Well, now I'm not so afraid of sending you to school now. I thought you would be so unhappy and upset, but I now know that you could be happy". And you can guess what happened after that. Elizabeth became naughtier that ever!!! "Well, if being good makes mother think like that, I'll see what being naughty does!!!" Elizabeth emptied the ink-bottle all over the cushions in the living room and drawing room. She tore a large hole in one of the nicest curtains, with flowers and butterflies on it. She put three horrible black Dung-bugs in Miss Scott's tooth-brush mug, and squeezed the super glue into the end of Miss Scott's shoes!"Well all this makes it quit certain Elizabeth needs to go to school!" said Miss Scott as she tried to get her feet out of the sticky shoes. "And yet she can be so sweet and nice when she likes."
Elizabeth's trunk was packed and ready to go on a carriage. She had two spare pairs of stockings, dresses, shoes, and she had one thick jacket for when it was raining. She had a tuck-box too, and inside was a big currant cake, a box of chocolates, a tin of toffee, a jam sandwich, and a tin of shortbread.
Elizabeth put on her uniform of Whyteleafe (her boarding school) It was very neat, and she looked nice in it. But then again, Elizabeth looked nice in anything! "My goodness! You really do look like a school girl!" Elizabeth's mum kissed her daughter goodbye. "See you at half-term." "No mum" Elizabeth replied. "I'll be so naughty, that they'll send me right back so I'll be home a long time before that!
