Whatdoes Miss Mason think of Wanda’s drawings? What do the childrenthink of them? How do you know?

Miss Masonsaid that Room Thirteen should be proud of Wanda as she had drawn onehundred designs of dresses, all of which were beautiful anddifferent. She told the students that in the opinion of the judges,any one of the drawings was worthy of winning the prize. She was veryhappy to announce Wanda as the winner. As Wanda was absent that day,Miss Mason hoped that she would be back the next day. She then askedthe entire class to look at Wanda’s exquisite drawings.

Thechildren also admired the drawings. Everybody stopped and whistled ormurmured admiringly. After Miss Mason hadannounced that Wanda was the winner, they burst into applause, andeven the boys were glad to have a chance to stamp on the floor andwhistle. Also, just as Peggy and Maddie entered the room, theystopped short and gasped. Later they recognized the designs as thosewhich Wanda had described to them. And in the end, Peggy exclaimed,“…and I thought I could draw.” This shows that shealso realized how good Wanda’s drawings were.
