Description

The "S" card in a set that may be intended to teach reading and articulation through alliteration. "Sophisba Scribblewell was superlatively & surprisingly sentimental. If Sophisba Scribblewell was superlatively & surprisingly sentimental, why was Sophisba Scribblewell superlatively & surprisingly sentimental?" A young woman seated at a desk holds a quill pen in her hand, apparently having stopped the act of writing. She stares out the window at a crescent-shaped Man in the Moon.
