"A second day in Mary Carrow''s school by Anonymous" is a children’s Sunday-school tale written in the mid-19th century. It depicts a gentle, instructive day in a small classroom, weaving simple academics with moral guidance and Christian devotion. The likely topic is a rainy-day school session in which a kind teacher blends grammar, arithmetic, stories, and Scripture to nurture obedience, gratitude, and kindness. On a wet morning, Mary Carrow welcomes her pupils—Charles,
Harry and Lucy Linn, Lily and Eddy Forester, Susan Field, Ellen Raby, and the tardy Carry Deacon, who has been delayed by stopping to admire kittens and arrives soaked. Mary comforts and equips Carry with dry shoes, then teaches nouns, leads blackboard shapes and multiplication in concert, and oversees indoor games at recess. Carry privately confesses her missteps; Mary counsels her about thoughtfulness, gives a short prayer for forgiveness, and encourages better habits. The class shares a simple communal dinner (with much delight over small pies) and observes a quiet moment of gratitude. In the afternoon they recite definitions, answer basic questions about the senses, practice writing, and hear a true story about a kind muffin-man who aids a poor sailor’s family. The day ends with reading from Genesis about Creation and Eden, a brief talk on obedience and God’s love, and a careful dismissal as Mary returns borrowed items and sends the children home in improving weather.
