Excerpt
And poor, peevish Mrs. Coventry sank into an easy chair with a nervous sigh and the air of a martyr, while her pretty daughter hovered about her with affectionate solicitude. ?Who are they talking of, Lucia?? asked the languid young man lounging on a couch near his cousin, who bent over her tapestry work with a happy smile on her usually haughty face. ?The new governess, Miss Muir. Shall I tell you about her?? ?No, thank you. I have an inveterate aversion to the whole tribe. I?ve often thanked heaven that I had but one sister, and she a spoiled child, so that I have escaped the infliction of a governess so long.?
