The Emily F. Norman Memorial Scholarship was very highly
regarded and sought-after. The money was substantial, free accommodation, the
works. But it wasn’t easy to get. After all, it used to be known as the “E.F
Norman Gift for Proper Ladies Skilled at Oratory”. You had to give a flawless
speech before an audience, including Mrs Norman’s descendant. Sally was
expected to crush it as she approached the microphone.
“It ain't what you don't know-“ she began before Mrs Norman-Ziglar
stood.
“Young lady, that is not the Queen’s English, thank you.”
Sally was lead away, crying something about a quotation.
