“HONOR. This means that a girl is not satisfied with keeping the letter of the law when she really breaks it in spirit. LOYAL. This means that she is true to her country, to the city or village where she is a citizen, to her family, her church, her school, and those for whom she may work or who may work for her. HELPFUL. The simplest way of saying this for the very young Scout is to do a good turn to someone every day: that is, to be a giver and not a taker. This is the spirit that makes the older Scout into a fine, useful, dependable woman.” WayMayMeanCountrySchoolLawYoungSpiritTurnsGirlChurchCitiesBreakFineCitizensHonorLettersSatisfiedHelpfulVillageLoyalSimplestGiverDependable Author:Juliette Gordon Low

“''Women of the Gallagher Academy, who comes here?" she asked. Just then, every girl at every table (even the newbies) stood and said in unison, "We are the sisters of Gillian." "Why do you come?" my mother asked. "To learn her skills. Honor her sword. And keep her secrets." "To what end do you work?" "To the cause of justice and light." "How long will you strive?" "For all the days of our lives," we finished and I felt a little like a character in one of my grandma's soap operas.” LittlesLongSaidEndsCharacterLightMotherGirlFeltCausesJusticeSecretOur LivesHonorSkillsTablesStriveFinishedOperaSoapAcademyGrandmaSoap OperasEvery GirlMy GrandmaUnisonGallagher Author:Ally Carter
