Mrs. Creagan continued, “He is the son of Mr. Arthur Chrysanthemum. Their family gives generously to this camp each year.â€? Casimir said to me in a low whisper, “Family? Ha! Hardly.â€? I knew he’d get over it sooner or later.
“His mentor for the day is Essie Miracle. Casimir, if you have any questions, then feel free to ask any of the girls. I hope you enjoy your visit here at the Leaps and Bounds. Now, would you like to tell us all a little about yourself?â€? the teacher asked.
After a moment, Casimir firmly stood up, the chair hitting the table as he pushed it in. Using a dignified voice, he said to the class, “My name is Casimir, and I’m glad I got the chance to be present at this camp. Essie told me about it, and she deemed that it would be a fine idea if I came. So, it’s nice to meet you all, and I bid you salutations.â€? Then, he sat back down. He was quiet with his gaze fixed on nothing in particular, but a thoughtful expression was displayed on his face.
