Haha wow. Wonderful threats and epithets. I was hoping a grown-up would come to her rescue, but this is much better. The atheist’s daughter.

School was very different from what she had expected it to be, but that was the way in life, she had heard Ellen Greene say, and you just had to make the best of it.

the Bugle Song
Penn Hackney
https://www.potw.org/archive/potw196.html Tennyson, from The Princess: The splendor falls on castle walls And snowy summits old in story ; The long light shakes across the lakes, And the wild cataract leaps in glory. Blow, bugle, blow, set the wild echoes flying, Blow, bugle ; answer, echoes, dying, dying, dying. O, hark, O, hear! how thin and clear, And thinner, clearer, farther going! O, sweet and far from cliff and scar The horns of Elfland faintly blowing! Blow, let us hear the purple glens replying, Blow, bugle ; answer, echoes, dying, dying, dying. O love, they die in yon rich sky, They faint on hill or field or river ; Our echoes roll from soul to soul, And grow for ever and for ever. Blow, bugle, blow, set the wild echoes flying, And answer, echoes, answer, dying, dying, dying. The above song appears between the third and fourth parts of The Princess. It is listed under a variety of names in various anthologies, including: Splendor Falls, Blow, Bugle, Blow, He Hears the Bugle at Killarney, and Bugle Song. https://www.gutenberg.org/files/791/791-h/791-h.htm https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Princess_(Tennyson_poem)
