Author Description

Excerpt from The Two Schools: A Moral Tale MY dear mamma, I am delighted to find you alone, said Augusta Monkton, as she entered the parlour in which her mother was seated, for I am come to beg a favour of you. It is of little consequence, Augusta, replied Mrs. Monkton, whether I am alone or not; for you seldom find me disposed to refuse your requests, however I may be situated. But the favour I am going to beg is different from any that I ever before asked, and one that I am afraid you will not be very willing to grant.
