Have you forgot our school-day friendship? How often, Hermia, have we two, sitting on one cushion, both singing one song, with our needles working the same flower, both on the same sampler wrought; growing up together in fashion of a double cherry, scarcely seeming parted? Hermia, it is not friendly in you, it is not maidenly, to join with men in scorning your poor friend."
I cannot detail all the symptoms, for I was not there to watch them, and aunt Z. was neither so faithful an observer or narrator as I have shown myself in the school-day passages; but, generally, they were as follows. Sylvain wanted to go into the world, or let it into his house. Mariana consented; but, with an unsatisfied heart, and no lightness of character, she played her part ill there.

Beyond the walls of his narrow room he knows no object; beyond the elucidation of a dead tongue he indulges no ambition; his life is one long school-day of lexicons and grammars a fabric of ice, cautiously excluded from a single sunbeam elaborately useless, ingeniously unprofitable; and leaving at the moment it melts away, not a single trace of the space it occupied, or the labour it cost.
"Sufficient," the master had said; but it was more than sufficient. In that moment of suspension, with Sidonie's great brown frightened eyes in his, and their four hands clasped together, Claude had learned, for his first lesson, that knowledge is not the only or the greatest power. After that, every school-day morning Claude rang the bell.
When the landlord came to the quarters early to look for me, my mother would hide me behind the cook-pot and other vessels. When I was a little older I had to play my part on the farm. Mother now worked another scheme. I took turns with my brother at school and at the plow. What he learned at school on his school-day was taught to me at night, and vice versa.
Miss Atterly has noticed you both, and was much interested when she learned that you were old school-day friends of mine." So, after the music had ceased, Dan escorted Laura over to where Dave and Belle were chatting. "Belle," asked Dan in his most direct way, "will you come and be introduced to Miss Atterly?" "The young lady you've been dancing with so much?" Miss Meade inquired.
Day-students were required to work one school-day each week and every other Saturday. I was a student nearly five years, counting the time when I was a night-student. After I entered day-school it was necessary that I should work not only on my regular work-days and two Saturdays each month, but whenever there was work to be done and I could find time in which to do it.
The governors reserve, however, their right of nominating aged or disabled men, whose number now, we believe, amounts to one hundred. A school-day at Charter-House began at eight, with what we called "first school." Prayers, lasting about five minutes, took place in the large school-room. These were read by a "gown-boy" monitor.
It would take fight to conquer this new condition, she realized, but Jane could fight, and her dreams on this first night back in college were strangely confused with school-day battles. More than once she awoke with a start, as if some danger were impending, and a sense of uneasiness possessed her.
