Annie is a teacher in Bangor as well, for which her friends congratulate her. Some of Annie's friends are still attending school; Katie mentions that there is a new male teacher named Mr. Jordan. Mostly, the girls talk about their daily activities, travels down river or visits to relatives, and school. There are the occasional interesting and insightful comments about marriage, lost loves, and religion. Some of Annie's friends talk about church and the various sermons that they have been to, leading to brief discussions of their understanding of religion and various religious affiliations. Those mentioned in particular are Episcopalian, Baptist, and Unitarian.
