Later, when Helen was older, she and Mildred would go out into the woods and gather persimmons and nuts. They also liked to explore and even got lost in the woods. Years later, when Helen was at Cambridge, Mildred came to the school as well. For six months, they attended school together.
Helen explained that despite her early jealousy, she and Mildred "grew into each other's hearts."
