Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Forgotten Lives, Vol. 1 of 3
The girl rose and stood back with a timid depressed air, while the owner of the cracked voice came forward and warmed her plump, pudgy hands by the decaying fire.
There ought not to be a fire in the schoolroom so late as this, she said; it is nearly nine o'clock. I shall fine you, Miss Lethbridge, if this occurs again.
It was so very cold, ma'am, returned the girl in a patient, low voice, and I have only thrown on the Cinders. I have not put on any fresh coal.
Fresh coal, and only yourself in the schoolroom 1 exclaimed the plump lady in a tone of amazement; I should hope not.
