Chapter 10

Dear Daddy Long Legs:
Check out what I learned today.

The cross-sectional area of ​​a regular pyramid is equal to half the product of the total length of the base and the height of one side of the trapezoid.

It doesn't sound right, but it's so true, I've checked it myself!
You haven't heard about my new clothes, have you?Now I have 6 beautiful new dresses - bought just for me, not something everyone else wears that are too big or too small.Maybe you can't understand what this means in the life of an orphan.That's what you gave me, and for that I'm very, very, very grateful to you.It's nice to have an education - but there's nothing like having 6 new clothes.Miss Pritchard of the visiting party picked them out for me, thank God it wasn't Mrs Lippy.A silk evening dress with carnations (I wore it beautifully), a blue Sunday dress, and two dinner dresses: one of red muslin with oriental lace (I look like a gypsy); the other is a rose-coloured calico.A gray suit for normal wear, and another for class.These costumes may not mean much to Julia Pendleton, but to Judy Albert—oh my god, they are.

I guess you're thinking that now—what a shallow, stupid girl she was!What a waste of money to send such a girl to college!
But uncle, if you've never worn anything but gingham in your life, you'll know how I feel.The clothes I've worn since high school are worse than gingham!
Those boxes for the rescue suits.

You don't know how much I'm afraid of showing up at school in those horrible relief suits, that the girl sitting next to me is the original owner of the clothes, and maybe she'll tell the other girls about it, and then laugh and talk and point fingers at me. give pointers.It hurts my heart to think that I might be wearing clothes thrown away by the most hated people.Even if I can wear stockings forever in the future, it will not be able to erase the scars in my heart.

It is a great honor to be your field correspondent.

your vain friend j albert

Also:

I know I shouldn't expect a reply, and I've been warned not to bother you with this question.But, Daddy-Long-Legs, just for once, never again—are you old, or old and strong?Did you lose all your hair, or did you just go bald?I've never met you, so it's kind of hard to imagine.

What is a tall guy who doesn't like girls but who is generous to a rude girl and is supposed to look like?

Hope to reply.
