difficulty will be to keep her from learning too fast and too much. She is always sitting with her little nose burrowing into books. She doesn't read them, Miss Minchin; she gobbles them up as if she were a little wolf instead of a little girl. She is always starving for new books to gobble, and she wants grown-up books-great, big, fat ones-French and German as well as English-history and biography and poets, and all sorts of things.
( Frances Hodgson Burnett )
