It's almost exactly on the lines of one they published not long ago by Tennyson; but I'd rather not send it until I've had a lesson or two from some gifted person here who shall I go to, Primrose?" "You must go to a school, of course," answered Primrose. "There is a seminary for young ladies just round the corner we will call there this afternoon, and find out if the lady can give you lessons."
And at this point usually followed a number of stories of her generosity and impulsive kindness; "but," the conclusion always ran, "such a strange, wild little creature, so intolerant of convention, in dress, in education, in religion. Quite impossible in a young ladies' seminary."
I have only to invite a comparison. This is not a "made up" dream, but a little bit out of my daily life; just an experience occurring on the way home from the seminary. The analysis is real in the sense that the associations arose as I have recorded them.
Their idea was to establish a public school after the English method in Scotland, and so St. Columba's kept terms, and had dormitories, and a chapel, and playing-fields, and did everything on a smaller scale which was done at Rugby and Harrow.

This is all very nice and pretty at Lowell, but I am afraid it could not be done at Manchester.
He put down his book with a sigh and then went out to his evening meal, a troubled expression on his handsome face. Soon after entering Hilton Seminary, Katherine was invited, as was customary, to become a member of the "Junior League," a secret club or society organized and sustained by the junior class. Its object was twofold.
But whom are you going to marry?" "A young lady who graduates from a Northern seminary next week," responded Eugene. "I think you are very selfish," said Lorraine. "You might have invited a fellow to go with you to be your best man." "The wedding is to be strictly private. The lady whom I am to marry has negro blood in her veins."
The family consisted of the Squire and his wife, a son and a daughter married and not at home, a son in college at Cambridge, another son at the Seminary, and a daughter Alice, who was a year or more older than Ruth.
