Description
Excerpt: "Robina Starling will arrive at the school this evening," said Mrs
Burton. "She is twelve years old, and has never been at school before.
I want you girls of the third form to take her under your charge.
Frederica and Patience Chetwold, do you hear? Harriet Lane and Jane
Bush, I expect great tact and consideration; don't forget. And as to
you, dear Rose, and you. Cecil and Vivian Amberley, I know beforehand
that you are always sweet and considerate to those a little younger and
a little more ignorant than yourselves. Robina has been sent from home
because of her mother's illness. She is quite a little home bird, and I
have no doubt will be sorry for herself. I have given her people to
understand that she will be very happy at school, and I expect you girls
of the third form to help me to carry out my prognostications. Now
then, I think that is all. We will begin our usual lessons. Miss
Sparke, will you take the third form girls for their history? Miss
Devigny, the sixth form are waiting for you in the blue parlour."
