Excerpt from Sherburne GirlsMrs. Drayton, the lovely Aunt Millicent of the clan, had chosen Kingsley Hall for Ray Stanwood, as her grandmother was to be away for a whole year. Mrs. Drayton thought Ray needed more self-reliance. She had a sweet, joyous, yielding sort of nature, and Grandmamma Stanwood's indulgence would have spoiled most children. The little girl had come to her in a sad, motherless fashion, and her sympathy for her son's unfortunate marriage had made her more tender toward the child.Ray's father was to go abroad for part of the year, and the house was to be rented. Mrs. Drayton would gladly have added Ray to her own household, but she believed this plan the best. The other mothers had discussed it, and it ended by the four girls being together for a delightful, studious, happy year. It was a kind of home school, not a young woman's col lege. And now the year was ending, the graduating class were busy as bees, and kept largely to them selves. The Juniors did the same, and, as most of them were well up for examination, they allowed themselves a few indulgences.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
