"Oh, that is all very fine; but it seems her mother was educated here, and swore a sort of vow that when Kathleen was old enough she should come to this school and to no other. Her mother's name is Mrs. O'Hara, and she wrote to Miss Ravenscroft and asked if there was a vacancy for Kathleen, and if she knew of any one who would be nice to her and with whom she could live.
The teacher who had summoned her had gone on in front. Kathleen followed her at a respectful distance, and still humming "The wearing of the Green," she knocked at Miss Ravenscroft's door. Miss Ravenscroft was standing by her window. She turned when Kathleen appeared, and desired her to sit down. Kathleen dropped into a chair. Miss Ravenscroft did likewise.
The only thing we could get out of her was that she had been a member of the society but was one no longer." "She left them because of me," said Cassandra. "She felt she could not be with me and with those who do not approve of the paying girls." "There you are!" said Miss Ravenscroft. "Think of the monstrous mischief that is going on in our midst.
The other was to be a half-length of Mrs. Ravenscroft, who wanted one just like Hetty Castleton's, except for the eyes, which she admitted would have to be different. Nothing was said of the seventeen years' difference in their ages. Vivian had put off posing until Lent. The Wrandalls departed for Scotland, and other friends of his began to desert the country for the city.
In a comedy, written by Ravenscroft, after the Italian manner, Joe Haines, in 1667, donned the motley jacket of Harlequin, and which, in all probability, was the first appearance of Harlequin on the English boards, though not in England, as stated above.

This was the little starved, meritorious maid, who stood before old Ravenscroft, the treasurer, for her Saturday's payment. Ravenscroft was a man, I have heard many old theatrical people besides herself say, of all men least calculated for a treasurer.
"I scarcely know Miss Ravenscroft. I just spoke to her the first day I went to the school." "She has asked me too. What can it be about?" said Alice. "Then you can take a message from me; I am not going," said Kathleen. "What?" cried Alice. "I don't think even you will dare to defy the head-mistress.

"Oh, that's very likely, darling," said Kathleen; "but I don't think I much care. Did you see Miss Ravenscroft last night, and was she very, very angry?" "I saw her, and she was more than angry she was astonished.
I don't quite understand." "If you will kindly resume your story we shall be obliged, Miss Ravenscroft," said Miss Mackenzie. Miss Ravenscroft did resume it.
