The Mistress of Novices
and the Mistress of Postulants. . .
:10:06
. . .were trying to help me
by expressing opposite points of view.
:10:12
Tell me, Sister Catherine,
what do you think of Maria?
:10:15
She's a wonderful girl,
some of the time.
:10:19
-Sister Agatha?
-It's very easy to like Maria. . .
:10:22
. . .except when it's difficult.
:10:25
-And you, Sister Sophia?
-Oh, I love her very dearly.
:10:28
But she always seems to be
in trouble, doesn't she?
:10:31
Exactly what I say.
:10:33
She climbs a tree and scrapes her knee
:10:36
Her dress has got a tear
:10:38
She waltzes on her way to Mass
And whistles on the stair
:10:43
And underneath her wimple
She has curlers in her hair
:10:47
I've even heard her singing
ln the abbey
:10:52
She's always late for chapel
:10:54
But her penitence is real
:10:57
She's always late for everything
:10:59
Except for every meal
:11:01
I hate to have to say it
But I very firmly feel
:11:06
Maria 's not an asset to the abbey
:11:11
I'd like to say a word in her behalf
:11:13
Say it, Sister Margaretta.
:11:16
Maria makes me laugh
:11:22
How do you solve a problem like Maria?
:11:26
How do you catch a cloud
And pin it down?
:11:30
How do you find a word
That means Maria?
:11:34
A flibbertigibbet
:11:35
-A will-o '-the-wisp
-A clown
:11:38
Many a thing you know
You'd like to tell her
:11:42
Many a thing she ought to understand
:11:45
But how do you make her stay
And listen to all you say?
:11:50
How do you keep a wave upon the sand?
:11:53
How do you solve a problem like Maria?
:11:58
How do you hold a moonbeam...
