Notwithstanding all this it is an excellent school. We
learn a great deal, and our dear Principle is a most charming
and erudite person. But we see very little of Life. And if
school is a preparation for Life, where are we?
Being here alone since the day after Christmas, I have had
time to think everything out. I am naturally a thinking person.
And now I am no longer indignant. I realize that I was wrong,
and that I am only paying the penalty that I deserve although I
consider it most unfair to be given French translation to do. I
do not object to going to bed at nine o'clock, although ten is
the hour in the Upper House, because I have time then to look
back over things, and to reflect, to think.
"_There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes
it so_."
SHAKSPEARE.
_BODY OF THEME:_
I now approach the narative of what happened during the
first four days of my Christmas Holiday.
For a period before the fifteenth of December, I was rather
worried. All the girls in the school were getting new clothes
for Christmas parties, and their Families were sending on
invitations in great numbers, to various festivaties that were
to occur when they went home.
