| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Somebody's Little Girl by Martha Young: full of Only-Just-Ladies.
Not just a Lady here and there, coming to visit with hats on, to
talk a little to the Sisters, to look at the little girls with blue
checked aprons on. But here they were coming and going all the
time, moving about, and living in the cabins, walking everywhere

at seven months, he began to walk unassisted, with falterings
which another month was sufficient to remove.
It was somewhat
