Excerpt from Pippa at BrightonI am not very old myself, being a thought under fourteen, but then I'm a Girl Guide, and very intelligent, even for a Guide. Oh, and I may as well say at the beginning that this is a human document. I am writing it in tears and blood - so to speak - and I shall lock it up in my desk, where the family will find it after my death. Then they'll be sorry. They'll wish they had been nicer to me while I was yet alive.For, in the time before I went to school, they were not nice to me - and that's the truth. All my efforts to please were unavailing. I did my good Guide deed every day for the benefit of other people, and what was the result P Did my parents smile on me and reward me P Did my brothers and sisters vie with each other in praise of my devotion They did not. They merely remarked, when they discovered what I had done for them, Really, that child ought to be sent to school. She is growing unbearable.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
