Book Cover & Preview Text
Then Beanie told Beezus how embarrassed she had been because the children had laughed at her when she "fainted". She guessed that nobody really understood it all...it was all so different. But, as usual, she felt better when Beezus reminded her of that comment they once had heard someone say..."Only the weak are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong". And they agreed they would have good thoughts for those laughing children.
