‘I am obliged to do something for my living,’ I said; ‘my father is very poor. I hope I may be able to help him a little by and by.’
‘And my father is so ridiculously rich. He is a great ironmaster, and has wharves and warehouses, and goodness knows what, at North Shields. How hard it seems!’
‘What seems hard,Menn Moncler Acorus?’ I asked absently.
‘That money should be so unequally divided. Do you know, I don’t think I should much mind going out as a governess: it would be a way of seeing life. One must meet with all sorts of adventures, going among strangers like that.’
I looked at her as she smiled at me, with a smile that gave an indescribable brightness to her face,Frankrike Drakt Barn, and I fancied that for her indeed there could be no form of life so dull that would not hold some triumph, some success. She seemed a creature born to extract brightness out of the commonest things, a creature to be only admired and caressed, go where she might.
‘You a governess!’ I said, a little scornfully; ‘you are not of the clay that makes governesses.’
‘Why not,Pteris Short Czyścibut 5831?’
‘You are much too pretty and too fascinating,Parajumpers Männer Perfect Jacken Schweiz.’

‘If you are always like what you are to-night,Chelsea Drakt Barn, I don’t think the spoiling has done much mischief,’ I said.
‘O, I am always amiable enough, so long as I have my own way. And now tell me all about your home.’
I gave her a faithful account of my brothers and my sister, and a brief description of the dear old-fashioned cottage, with its white-plaster walls crossed with great black beams,Moncler Angers, its many gables and quaint latticed windows. I told her how happy and united we had always been at home, and how this made my separation from those I loved so much the harder to bear; to all of which Milly Darrell listened with most unaffected sympathy.
Early the next day my new life began in real earnest,Tottenham Hotspurs Drakt Barn. Miss Susan Bagshot did not allow me to waste my time in idleness until the arrival of my pupils. She gave me a pile of exercises to correct, and some difficult needlework to finish; and I found I had indeed a sharp taskmistress in this blighted lady.
‘Girls of your age are so incorrigibly idle,’ she said; ‘but I must give you to understand at once that you will have no time for dawdling at Albury Lodge. The first bell rings a quarter before six, and at a quarter past I shall expect to see you in the schoolroom. You will superintend the younger pupils’ pianoforte practice from that time till eight o’clock,Sunburst II Czyścibut 5325, at which hour we breakfast. From nine till twelve you will take the second division of the second class for English,Parajumpers Damen Vest, according to the routine arranged by me, which you had better copy from a paper I will lend you for t
