Excerpt from The Key to Paradise
If he is impossible, I will not marry him. They should have let me see him first. This is my stepmother's doing; she has hurried the affair on to spite me, as if she had only just found out that I am fifteen, and that it is time to consider my future.
During the recreation hour, when her dear est friends would fain have taken her aside and discussed the diamonds and silks and laces which were a necessary and delightful part of matrimony, she chose instead that they should play hide and seek with little girls of the junior class, on the plea that be fore long she would be debarred from playing any romping game at all. They laughed at her, but she got her own way, as indeed she generally did.
She was one of the first to hide, and she slipped away down a side alley of the garden.
