Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Nathalie, Vol. 1 of 3: A Tale
She was thin, wrinkled, and hard-favoured; she wore no amiable look, nor was she very amiable in reality; being dogmatic and imperious, she rather liked teaching; it was power - authority, and turned out, moreover, to be as good a way as any of fastening her own peculiar opinions - more strongly marked than varied - ou others. But then, as misfortune would have it, she had a decided antipathy to children and young girls, so that between her delight in the tuition and her general aversion for the Objects taught - an aversion which, as usual, was most heartily returned - Mademoiselle Dantin and her pupils had rather an uncomfortable life of it, and might not have got on at all, had there happened to be another school and schoolmistress in the town of Sainville.
