“Sit down, Sarah,” Miss Mulkey said. “We have a new student in our class.”

Sarah saw a new girl. Her dark red hair was long. All the girls wore short bobs, and it was strange to see the new girl’s hair be right down to the seat behind her. She’s very pretty, Sarah thought. She had a beautiful oval face. But the girl’s clothes surprised Sarah most. She wore a blue velvet dress and – blue shoes. Like a princess.

Miss Mulkey smiled. “This is Melanie Rivers, class,” she said. “Melanie has come to Portland from Hollywood, California, and we’ll make her feel welcome, right, boys and girls?”

She paused. “Take out your arithmetic,” she said, and she looked as strict as usual.

Sarah worked worse than usual that morning. Even the play went out of her head when her eyes turned to the new girl. Melanie was from Hollywood! Did ordinary boys and girls live in Hollywood? But perhaps Melanie wasn’t an ordinary girl. Perhaps she was an actress. She was very pretty.

When the bell rang for lunch, children gathered around Melanie. She smiled and answered questions. Sarah came nearer.

“I don’t actually know any film stars,” Melanie said, “but I’ve seen a lot of them. Greta Garbo’s limousine went past our house nearly every morning.”
