"We know Pauline's symptoms only too well: the first day she shows aggressively red eyes and a damp pocket-handkerchief; the second day she writes lengthy letters home; begging to be allowed to return immediately and have lessons with a private governess; the third day she wanders about; trying to get sympathy from anyone who is weak-minded enough to listen to her; till in desperation somebody drags her into the playground; and makes her have a round at hockey.

"Oh; don't all begin to expatiate about your feelings!" broke in Chatty Burns. "We know Pauline's symptoms only too well: the first day she shows aggressively red eyes and a damp pocket-handkerchief; the second day she writes lengthy letters home; begging to be allowed to return immediately and have lessons with a private governess; the third day she wanders about; trying to get sympathy from anyone who is weak-minded enough to listen to her; till in desperation somebody drags her into the playground; and makes her have a round at hockey. That cheers her up; and she begins to think life isn't quite such a desert. By the fourth morning she has recovered her spirits; and come to the conclusion that Chessington College is a very decent kind of place; and she begins to be alarmed lest her mother; on the strength of the pathetic letter; should have decided to let her leave at once; and should have already engaged a private governess."

Autorenporträt
Angela Brazil was born on November 30, 1868, and died on March 13, 1947. She was one of the first British writers of "modern schoolgirls' stories," which were written from the point of view of the characters and were meant more for entertainment than to teach morals. Brazil first started writing when she was 10 years old. She and her close childhood friend Leila Langdale made a magazine based on the children's magazine Little Folks, which Brazil loved at the time. There were riddles, short stories, and poems in the "publications'' of the two girls. In their magazines, both girls wrote serials. Brazil's was called "Prince Azib." Brazil wrote Little Folks later in life. She didn't start writing until later in life when she became very interested in Welsh mythology. Angela Brazil is thought to be the first author of girls' school stories who wrote from the student's point of view and whose stories were mostly meant to entertain rather than teach moral lessons.
