Chapter XXV (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Well, Agnes, you must not take such long walks again before breakfast,” said my mother, observing that I drank an extra cup of coffee and ate nothing—pleading the heat of the weather, and the fatigue of my long walk as an excuse. I certainly did feel feverish and tired too.“You always do things by extremes: now, if you had taken a short walk every morning, and would continue to do so, it would do you good.”“Well, mamma, I will.”“But this is worse than lying in bed or bending o

Our school was not situated in the heart of the town: on entering A—— from the north-west there is a row of respectable-looking houses, on each side of the broad, white road, with narrow slips of garden-ground before them, Venetian blinds to the windows, and a flight of steps leading to each trim, brass-handled door.

I call it new, for there was, indeed, a considerable difference between
