• Allie Smith Riggs : Sometimes I do get lonely, but, not for people. I get lonely - for thinking of places I've never been to. You know, far away places. Rangoon. Mandalay. Have you ever felt that way?

  Miss Margaret Gordon, the Librarian : Yes, in deed.

  Allie Smith Riggs : And, maybe - maybe somebody to be there with you. Somebody you can be proud of and look up to. You don't know who? I guess all girls are that way when they're my age. Just crazy-headed!
