Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Schoolgirls Abroad
In the meantime we talked of nothing but our trip. We packed and unpacked till we were worn out. Aunt Margaret urged us to lighten baggage as much as possible; and when it was time to start, we made a final inventory, so that there would be no duplicates in the way of things to be used in common. Each one of us had a blessed candle and a bottle of holy water in her trunk; but no objection was made to these. And the trunks were strapped, labelled, and marked with our cabin number the night before the good-byes.
We left home at noon on Monday, and it was hard to part from dear ones. Our parents and hosts of friends and relatives were at the station to see us off, and we promised more letters and post-cards than we could possibly write if we did nothing but write all day. There was a queer sinking of our hearts - I know mine went way down - when the train started and we waved a last good - bye to our parents and friends. Perhaps we might never see them again.
