Hers was a personality that\u003cbr\u003eno lapse of time, nothing could efface; a personality that made itself\u003cbr\u003efelt on boys of all temperaments, most of all, of course, on those\u003cbr\u003ewho--like myself--were highly strung and sensitive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShe was classical mistress at L.'s, the then well-known dame school in\u003cbr\u003eClifton, where for three years--prior to migrating to a Public School--I\u003cbr\u003ewas well grounded in all the mysticisms of Kennedy's Latin Primer and\u003cbr\u003eSmith's First Greek Principia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI doubt if she got anything more than a very small salary--governesses\u003cbr\u003ein those days were shockingly remunerated--and I know,--poor soul, she\u003cbr\u003ehad to work monstrously hard. Drumming Latin and Greek into heads as\u003cbr\u003ethick as ours was no easy task.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut there were times, when the excessive tension on the nerves proving\u003cbr\u003etoo much, Mrs. Hartnoll stole a little relaxation; when she allowed\u003cbr\u003eherself to chat with us, and even to smile--Heavens! those smiles! And\u003cbr\u003ewhen--I can feel the tingling of my pulses at the bare mention of\u003cbr\u003eit--she spoke about herself, stated she had once been young--a\u003cbr\u003edeclaration so astounding, so utterly beyond our comprehension, that we\u003cbr\u003ewere rendered quite speechless--and told us anecdotes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOf many of her narratives I have no recollection, but one or two, which\u003cbr\u003einterested me more than the rest, are almost as fresh in my mind as when\u003cbr\u003erecounted. The one that appealed to me most, and which I have every\u003cbr\u003ereason to believe is absolutely true,[1] is as follows:--I give it as\u003cbr\u003enearly as I can in her own somewhat stilted style:--\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Up to the age of nineteen, I resided with my parents in the Manor\u003cbr\u003eHouse, Oxenby. It was an old building, dating back, I believe, to the\u003cbr\u003ereign of Edward VI, and had originally served as the residence of noble\u003cbr\u003efamilies. Built, or, rather, faced with split flints, and edged and\u003cbr\u003ebuttressed with cut grey stone, it had a majestic though very gloomy\u003cbr\u003eappearance, and seen from afar resembled nothing so much as a huge and\u003cbr\u003egrotesquely decorated sarcophagus.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47080243888368,"sku":"2940014584715","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014584715","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
