Summary: Lena went to work for the day for Mrs. Chism. First she stopped at the school to pick up her schoolwork so she wouldn't get behind. Mrs. Chism does seem to be a "crabby lady" as Lena had described her in chapter 3. She and Lena can tomatoes and clean out the attic. In the attic, Mrs. Chism has lots of books. Lena asks Mrs. Chism if she can read Mrs. Chism's books, but Mrs. Chism refuses. Lena sneaks a book into her satchel. As her Papa walks her home that night, Lena tells him she has "borrowed" a book from Mrs. Chism.
