3. Gadsby’s party admires the Night School’s woodworking, metalwork, fancywork, weaving, and glassblowing, including the savings practical instruction offers.

O que observar

Lucy connects the public emergency with her family’s recurring fear. Her distress sharply contrasts with her cheerful singing shortly before the fire.
