What Katy Did

Jasmine Stanway

This book is very dear to me. My mom read it to me when I was very little so going back into it I didn’t remember much. But when I did I enjoyed every bit! This is a book that teaches a lesson about turning bad situations into positive ones. Like cousin Helen said, every door has two handles. And Katy chooses to turn the handle that enabled her to be content with the new life she lived for two and a half years. It matured her quite a bit, and she gained new appreciation for her family and her life in general. To me this book is perfectly timeless, and I’m sure one day I’ll read it again❤️

The September sun was glinting cheerfully into a pretty bedroom furnished with blue. It danced on the glossy hair and bright eyes of two girls, who sat together hemming ruffles for a white muslin dress. The half-finished skirt of the dress lay on the bed; and as each crisp ruffle was completed, the girls added it to the snowy heap, which looked like a drift of transparent clouds or a pile of foamy white-of-egg beaten stiff enough to stand alone. These girls were Clover and Elsie Carr, and it was Clover's first evening dress for which they were hemming ruffles. It was nearly two years since a certain visit made by Johnnie to Inches Mills, of which some of you have read in "Nine Little Goslings;" and more than three since Clover and Katy had returned home from the boarding-school at Hillsover. Clover was now eighteen. She was a very small Clover still, but it would have been hard to find anywhere a prettier little maiden than she had grown to be. Her skin was so exquisitely fair that her arms and wrists and shoulders, which were round and dimpled like a baby's, seemed cut out of daisies or white rose leaves. Her thick, brown hair waved and coiled gracefully about her head. Her smile was peculiarly sweet; and the eyes, always Clover's chief beauty, had still that pathetic look which made them irresistible to tender-hearted people.
