She explained to the children that the school had been closed. She feels she's being got at. She fell and smashed her head on the floor. She fell off her horse and put her shoulder out. She fell to brooding about what had happened to her. She felt cleansed of her sins after confession. She felt his arms close tightly around her. She felt that her teachers were picking on her.
