Chapter XXXIX
THE NUNNERY. The Eastwoods spent several weeks at the High Lodge. They saw it at its very best, in all the spring blossoming, when the trees put on their most delicate greenery, and all the children, big and little, and all the orphans, and even the young ladies of the Upper School, got “their new things” for Easter. I am not sure that Mrs. Eastwood entered as she intended to do into “the humours” of the establishment. She disapproved of a great many things.
