I call it playing it low down; but you're not going to annoy Vava Wharton, who is not to blame one bit, and if you do I'll just go straight to the head-mistress and tell her, and we'll see what she says about honour, announced Doreen.
I don't mind Miss Spicer so much; she's the music teacher. As to Miss Ravenscroft, I have never even seen her." "And who is she, darling?" "The head-mistress, and no end of a toff." "What's a toff, dear?" "It's a slang word they use in stupid old England." "I don't admire it, my love. Don't you demean yourself by bringing words of that sort home to Carrigrohane."
'Leucha, I forbid you to speak in that tone to your head-mistress. I acknowledge that Hollyhock did wrong; but, oh, how humbly, how thoroughly, she has repented!
The head-mistress, Mrs Macintyre, came out with tears in her eyes to tell him what had occurred in the watches of the night. The Duke, a white-haired old man, looked very solemn as he listened. His heart was sick within him. 'Now, listen, he said when he could find his voice. 'Is there danger of her life? 'We don't know; we are not sure, said Mrs Macintyre.

I mean that she is clever and very rich, and philanders with philanthropy. We know nothing, for instance, of the proposed head-mistress, Mrs Macintyre. 'Yes, we do, through that really excellent woman, your sister-in-law. George, you are sadly prejudiced. 'Cecil, you wrong me. Was she not my Lucy's half-sister, and did not my dearest one suffer tortures at her hands?
She was wondering how it was that the head-mistress of the Royal Service School for Officers' Daughters used the word "wherever" as the vulgar do. The examination concluded with some questions in history and geography, which Beth answered more or less incorrectly. "I shall put you here in the sixth," Miss Bey informed her; "but rather for your size than for your acquirements.
'I have heard of you, Miss Wharton, said Miss Upjohn, the head-mistress, 'and I hope I shall be able to persuade you to entrust your sister to us.
