In the public schools the girls still learn arithmetic, perhaps they spend too much strength upon it for the practical mastery they get; but in private schools the best of teachers find it almost impossible to give girls a working knowledge of the subject, because the tide of feeling is so strong against it. By and by Miss Malvina's father found himself having trouble with his workmen.
The Professor had intended to say "our world," but hesitated, not feeling positive at the moment to which he himself belonged; Malvina's or Mrs. Muldoon's. So he made it "the" world instead. Another gesture conveyed to him that Malvina was entirely in his hands. "What really have you got on?" asked the Professor. "I mean underneath. Is it anything possible for a day or two?"
And so dismissed they seem to have returned to the village a marvellously sober little party, experiencing all the sensations of honest folk admitted to their first glimpse of high society. They came again next year at least a few of them bringing with them a dress more worthy of Malvina's wearing.
