"Bicentennial" Section 4

This section overall is discussing a code of conduct. The code being used by the babysitter, the nuns and the students is kindness. The narrator describes how these people are living by this code as a sign of who they are. The narrator has also adapted a code of kindness by showing the respect the dead babysitter deserves. The girls in the dormitories had attended prayer in the chapel as if they were being trained to live by the same code as their nuns (Stanza 3 Lines 2-5).
