You have my picture.

Included here is an original story (or part of it anyway) that I wrote:

Elizabeth
"It is," said Beth to Victoria, "disturbing, humph!" Victoria said, "So why?" "We won't," said Beth, "But I want to anyway." "Well," said Victoria, "Did you know I'm an orphan?" "No," said Beth, "But I am too." "Then why did you say your mama said...?" "Because I didn't think it a good idea," said Beth. "Oh," said Victoria. "Well," said Beth, "I don't have a home, do you?" "No," said Victoria, "but we better find one, mmhmmm. We cannot turn into a hotel; we have no money!" "So," said Beth, "We will sleep outside."
When the girls awoke, they found themselves on a train going somewhere. Beth asked where they were– it was the Orphan Train. The girls stopped and everyone got out. They arranged, and people came and saw who they were, and a young woman came to see Victoria and Beth! Beth looked at the girl behind the woman– she saw it looked like her sister Margaret, who was lost! And her other sisters Amy and Jo were dead, but could this be her sister? The next thing they knew, they were at the woman's home and Beth felt Meg run to her and yell, "Beth!" "Meg," Beth said, "Is it you? Can it be you? I missed you so much!" "And who is this?" she said to Victoria. "Victoria," Beth said, "And you are Meg," she said. "Oh!" said Victoria. "My sister Bella used to know you, so I am glad to see you again!" And then was supper and bed. When the girls woke up, it was morning, and it was breakfast time. The girls were happy. At last they were adopted!
The end
