That spoilsport Mr. Darcy caught them and packed Lydia off to a hideous boarding school for girls who had lost their virtue.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt would improve her character, he said. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRidiculous, she said.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMrs. Drummond, the school's headmistress, has shocking expectations for the girls. They must share rooms, do chores, attend lessons, and engage in charitable work, no matter how well born they might be. She even forces them to wear mobcaps! Refusal could lead to finding themselves at the receiving end of Mrs. Drummond's cane--if they were lucky. The unlucky ones could be dismissed and found a position ... as a menial servant.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEverything and everyone at the school is uniformly horrid. Lydia hates them all, except possibly the music master, Mr. Amberson, who seems to have the oddest ideas about her. He might just understand her better than she understands herself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCan she find a way to live up to his strange expectations, or will she spend the rest of her life as a scullery maid?","brand":"White Soup Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47075290087664,"sku":"2940157748036","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940157748036_p0.jpg?v=1764102809","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940157748036","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
