O knihe
Excerpt from Ombra, Vol. 1 of 3
You wanted a governess I heard, and I applied for the situation - I never thought of anything more, said quickly, with some offence, the irritated applicant.
Precisely, said Mr. Courtenay. With this understanding everything may be decided at once. I am happy to have met with a lady who understands my meaning. And thus the bargain would be made. But, as it is natural to suppose, the ladies who were willing to take ser vice under these terms, were by no means the highest of their class. Sometimes it would happen that Mr. Courtenay received a sharp rebuff in these preliminary negotiations. I trust, of course, that I shall grow fond of my pupil, and she of me, said one stouter-hearted woman, for example. And the old Squire made her a sarcastic bow.
