1 The meal over, prayers were read by Miss Miller, and the classes filed off, two and two, upstairs.
2 Miss Miller was now the only teacher in the room: a group of great girls standing about her spoke with serious and sullen gestures.
3 A pause of some seconds succeeded, filled up by the low, vague hum of numbers; Miss Miller walked from class to class, hushing this indefinite sound.
