The possibility of evil


“Well, apologize to her right now,” Miss Strangeworth said. “She is
probably worrying about why you keep jumping all the time.”  Smiling to herself
and shaking her old head, she went on down the sunny street, stopping once to
ask little Billy Moore why he wasn’t out riding in his daddy’s shiny new car, and
talking for a few minutes outside the library with Miss Chandler, the librarian,
about the new novels to be ordered, and paid for by the annual library
appropriation.  Miss Chandler seemed absent-minded and very much as though
she was thinking about something else.  Miss Strangeworth noticed that Miss
Chandler had not taken much trouble with her hair this morning, and sighed.
Miss Strangeworth hated sloppiness.

From this short paragraph, we know that Miss Strangeworth is very considerate, she notice many small things and cares other people a lot.  But she's not a good worker because she gets distracted easily.

The sun was shining, the air was fresh and clear after the night’s heavy rain, and everything in Miss Strangeworth’s little town looked washed and bright. Miss Strangeworth took deep breaths, and thought that there was nothing in the world like a fragrant summer day."
