Being the sister of 2 newsies and a seamstress isn’t always easy, especially when you’re a newsie yourself. My brother David is getting ready for work, so I probably should as well. I always head to the lodge where most of the newsboys live to say hi to some of them. I have to do this since it’s one of my habits now, and it wakes them up. Sometimes, Mr. Kloppman sneaks me coffee since David doesn’t allow me to have any. I better hurry to the town square before David sees me with this coffee. I swear, Race always makes fun of me for being two inches shorter than him! It’s so annoying! I’ve got to go and help Crutchie for a bit. I’ll write later.
