Excerpt
The young ladies of the Misses Boaden’s establishment, Elmwood House, Forest Hill, had dispersed for the hour of recreation permitted on summer evenings.
A couple strolled to and fro with linked arms in deepest conversation ; one of somewhat heavy aspect sat under a lilac hush laboriously conning a lesson. The rest were playing croquet (lawn-tennis was in its infancy as yet) on a tolerably large space of grass in which the garden terminated, and which was mentioned in the Misses Boaden’s prospectus as “The Grounds.”
