ABSTRACT
Molly grew up among these quiet people in calm monotony of life, without any greater event than that which had a been recorded, – the being left behind at the Towers, until she was nearly seventeen. She had become a visitor at the school, but she had never gone again to the annual festival at the great house; it was easy to find some excuse for keeping away, and the recollection of that day was not a pleasant one on the whole, though she often thought how much she should like to see the gardens again.
