Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****. CHAPTER IPacking Only one day more, cried Patty Hirst, surveying with deep interest the large new box which stood by the side of the chest of drawers in her bedroom; just one day! How dreadfully quickly the time has come! I feel quite queer when I think about it. I can scarcely believe that before the end of the week both I and my luggage will be a whole hundred miles away, and settled at Morton Priory. I do wonder how I shall like it? Very much, I hope, replied her mother, pausing for a moment in her task of packing the neat piles of linen and underclothing into as small a compass as possible. I m sure it seems a delightful school, and you are an extremely lucky girl to be going there. Yes, said Patty, with a rather doubtful tone in her voice, sitting down on the edge of the bed, and beginning to turn over the pocket handkerchiefs, the new blouses, the ties, hair ribbons, and other articles which made up her schoolgirl outfit; I suppose I am lucky. Perhaps it may be nicer than I think. I wanted to go dreadfully when Uncle Sidney first wrote about it, but somehow now that it s got almost to starting off, do you know I feel as if I d changed my mind, and I m not at all sure that I wouldn t rather stay at home. It seems too horrible to have to go amongst so many new girls. Mrs. Hirst laughed. Don t be a silly child, she said. Of course you will feel strange just at first, but you will soon get over your shyness. It will be quite a fresh world for you, and a very interesting one. I expect to have the most enthusiastic letters from you when you have been there for a few weeks. It will be different from Miss Dawson s, at any rate, said Patty. I hope it will. Miss Dawson s is the best school we have in Kirkstone, but it is only moderately good. I can t be too glad for you to have this opportunity of going to a better one. Give me your stockings, dear, and the workbasket; I ve a corner I want to fill up here. Patty sat watching her mother s deft fingers in silence for a moment or two, only handing her from time to time the things which she required. She gave a little sigh of satisfaction as she saw all her belongings stowed away in the big box; she had never had so many new possessions in her life before, and in the pleasure of owning them felt some slight compensation for the wrench of parting from home. The two useful navy-blue serge skirts, with their accompanying blouses, the pretty brown velvet dress for Sundays, the flowered delaine for evenings, and the white muslin for school parties, not to mention the hats, coats, and the numberless small articles needed for a girl going away by herself, all represented much thought and some self-denial on the part of her mother, who had made a great effort to send her nicely equipped, and had toiled hard to finish everything in time. I don t believe anybody could have a prettier nightdress case or brush-and-comb bag than this, said Patty, proudly smoothing the lace edging which she had helped to stitch on herself; and the clothes bag is a perfect beauty. Here s the little cash-box, Mother. It seems such a funny thing to have to take to school. I haven t any valuables to put into it, except my pocket money, and you said Miss Lincoln would take care of that. Why must it have two keys? In case you lose one, I suppose. No doubt Miss Lincoln is well accustomed to schoolgirls careless ways. You can keep your brooches inside it, and your locket and chain. Now give me your serviette ring and your collars, and don t forget that I ve put the boot laces in your workbasket. I wonder if I shall unpack by myself, or if anyone will come to help me, said Patty. You ll soon find out what is expected, and of course Muriel will be able to tell you everything. It s so very nice for you to have your cousin at the school. You ll have a friend there already. Patty s face fell.
