"She certainly is not so wise as Miss Vivian." "That would be too much to ask, eh? But the Vivians, as kind as they are wise, have taken her under their protection." "Yes," said Gordon, "they are to keep her another month or two. Her mother has gone to Marienbad, which I believe is thought a dull place for a young girl; so that, as they were coming here, they offered to bring her with them. Mrs.
Haddo would not like you to talk like that. Now let's examine our caterpillars." "There isn't much to see at the present moment," remarked Sylvia, "for they're every one of them in the chrysalis stage." The girls, having spent about five minutes in the Vivians' attics, now ran downstairs, and went out, as was their custom, by a side-door which opened into one of the gardens.
There had been copper-works on the Neath three centuries ago, but the first upon the Tawe were established in 1745. From them have grown the fame and wealth of the Cornish family of the Vivians, who have been copper-smelters for three generations at Swansea, and in front of the town-hall stands the statue of the "Copper King," the late John Henry Vivian, who represented Swansea in Parliament.
But I may as well state that if I am to be tortured and looked down on in the school, I shall write to Aunt Amelia and ask her to take me in until father writes to Mrs. Haddo about me. You must admit, all of you, that it has been a miserable time for me since the Vivians came to the school." "You have made it miserable yourself, Fanny," was Susie's retort. Then Fanny got up and went away.
"Won't you believe how truly nice and good she is?" "That will not make up for the connection. My heart sank, Jenny, from the time I heard that those Vivians were coming back. I kept Frank away as long as I could but there's no help for it. It seems the fate of my boys to be the prey of those sirens." "Well, then, dear Mrs.
She ran once more to her own room, wondering if they were now there. The room was quite empty. The housemaid had removed the breakfast-things and built up the fire. Martha had been told as a great secret that the Vivians possessed an attic, where they kept their pets. She found the attic, but it was empty.
"Yes, you may go, dear." "The Vivians come here on Monday?" said Fanny as she rose. "Yes, dear, on Monday. By the way, Miss Ludlow is arranging to give them the blue room, next to yours. You don't object, do you?" "No," said Fanny. The next minute the girl was out of sight. Miss Symes sat very still. What was the matter? What was Fanny Crawford trying to conceal? That evening Mrs.
As Miss Symes had predicted, Betty was put into her special form, in which form Susie Rushworth and Fanny Crawford also had their places. The younger Vivians were allowed to remain in the upper school, but were in much lower forms. Her eyes were bright with intelligence while she listened to Miss Symes, who could teach so charmingly and could impart knowledge in such an attractive way.
"I must say, and I may as well say it first as last, that I do not understand your adorable Mrs. Haddo. Why should she make such a fuss over common-looking girls like those?" "Do you call the Vivians common-looking girls?" was Martha West's response. "Of course I do, and even worse. Why, judging from their dress, they might have come out of a laborer's cottage."
It is this: why should not those splendid-looking girls, the Vivians, join the Specialities? They did look rather funny, I will admit, yesterday; but even then one could see that clothes matter little or nothing to them. But now that they're dressed like the rest of us, they give distinction to the whole school. I don't think I ever saw a face like Betty's.
