Excerpt from Teverino: A Romance
One fine morning, in the first years of the Restoration, the aristocratic convent of the Dames Anglaises, which at that period monopolized the education of the daughters of all the patrician families of Paris, opened its doors to a new, young, and most interesting pensionnaire.
One fine morning, in the first years of the Restoration, the aristocratic convent of the Dames Anglaises, which at that period monopolized the education of the daughters of all the patrician families of Paris, opened its doors to a new, young, and most interesting pensionnaire.
The new-comer, who was scarcely fourteen years old, had just arrived from Berry: her religious education seemed to have been much neglected, for the good sisters remarked with a holy horror, that she made the sign of the cross with a philosophical awkwardness, denoting a total want of practice. She was, nevertheless, a fine and noble-looking-girl: her features, very decided and strongly marked, breathed an air of native pride: she bore, without the least embarrassment, those glances, which, at the convent as at the college, are never spared to freshly arrived provincials, and in her every movement there was such an impress of rustic brusquerie, that in a few days her noble companions, sportively, but unanimously had given her the nickname of the little boy.
