The New Girl at St. Chad's

Oh; don't all begin to expatiate about your feelings! broke in Chatty Burns. We know Pauline's symptoms only too well: the first day she shows aggressively red eyes and a damp pocket-handkerchief; the second day she writes lengthy letters home; begging to be allowed to return immediately and have lessons with a private governess; the third day she wanders about; trying to get sympathy from anyone who is weak-minded enough to listen to her; till in desperation somebody drags her into the playground; and makes her have a round at hockey. That cheers her up; and she begins to think life isn't quite such a desert. By the fourth morning she has recovered her spirits; and come to the conclusion that Chessington College is a very decent kind of place; and she begins to be alarmed lest her mother; on the strength of the pathetic letter; should have decided to let her leave at once; and should have already engaged a private governess.
