Miss Upjohn looked very grave, 'I believe her to be the soul of honour. Surely you would not suspect a girl with such an open countenance as she has of such a dishonest act, and in a Scripture examination too? objected the head-mistress. 'I am very sorry to do so, but appearances are often deceptive, or how should we be so often taken in?
Such regulations may at first sight look trivial and unnecessary, but there is much to be said on the other side. From the beginning of the term to the end, the matron, whose province is quite apart from that of the head-mistress, is never worried about the pupils' dress, no shoes in need of repair, no garments to be mended, no letters to be written begging Mme.
Musical comedy programs for the last year carry her name only once, in the list of "Ladies of the Ensemble" of the revue, "What of it?" Miss Eloise Pendleton, head-mistress of Forsyte-on-the-Hudson, mentioned in the dispatches from Hamilton, confirms the report that Mrs.
Miss Bey inquired. "Beth Caldwell." "Then allow me to inform you, Miss Beth Caldwell, that 'all right, go on, is not the proper way to address the head-mistress of the Royal Service School for Officers' Daughters." "Thank you for telling me," Beth answered. "You see I don't know these things. I always say that to mamma." "Have you ever been to school before?" Miss Bey asked. "No," Beth answered.
But although she had been head-mistress of the great Middleton School now for several years, she had never before met quite such an extraordinary specimen as Kitty Malone. Where, however, others would see nothing but a spirit of frivolity, a love of admiration, dress, pleasure, in Kitty, Miss Sherrard peeped below the surface and discovered some really noble qualities.
There are, I am given to understand, in the midst of this hitherto well conducted and admirable school, a number of girls who have banded themselves together in disregard of its laws, and who have made for themselves laws contrary to the peace-abiding principles of this great school and noble institution: who meet at unseemly hours, who preach rebellion each to the other, who dare to publicly break the laws of the school, and who defy the express wishes of myself as head-mistress and the governors of the school by insisting on continuing their wicked meetings.
'I may have forgotten this; let us hope so, said the head-mistress in a tone which showed Miss Briggs she wished to change the conversation. Miss Briggs took the hint and said no more, and it is just possible that the matter might have dropped, and that a suspicion which had arisen in her mind might have died out, but for another unfortunate coincidence, which was as follows.
Let the head-mistress and the governors say what they please." "Hurrah for Kathleen O'Hara! Hurrah for the Wild Irish Girls for ever!" they shouted. "That's about it," said Kathleen. "I called you all to-night to tell you that we are suspected, and we are called insurrectionists; but let them call us what they like."
The members of every family, the head-mistress of every boarding-school, were treated to a variation upon the theme of Pons' illness. A single scene, which took place in the Illustrious Gaudissart's private room, will give a sufficient idea of the rest. La Cibot met with unheard-of difficulties, but she succeeded in penetrating at last to the presence.
There is a girl in this school whom you all love and respect. I don't suppose any other girl in the whole school bears such a high character. Her name is Cassandra Weldon." "Of course I know Cassandra Weldon," said the head-mistress. "She is our head girl." "She is; and she is not proud, and she is oh, so kind! She offered me a very great help. She presented to me a tremendous temptation."
