Opis: A Beginner (Classic Reprint) - Broughton Rhoda

Excerpt from A Beginner

"A young girl knows enough, when she knows the names of all the great men, ancient and modem, when she does not confound Hannibal with Csar, nor take Thrasimene for a general, nor Pharsalia for a Roman lady."

Miss Jocelyn rings the bell a second time, and pulls down the handle with a vigour that shows that this time she will have it answered, or, like the 30,000 Cornish men, "know the reason why." "If they were at tea, I could understand it," she says; - "no earthquake would stir them while they are at tea! but they must have finished before now." She makes this observation to herself, since her turret room holds at the moment no one else. Having rung she stands listening ; evidently ready to repeat her jerky appeal to the world below her eyrie at no long interval. But that third appeal is not needed. A man's foot is heard hurrying up the corkscrew stairs, and a footman appears.

"I rang twice!" observes she, with less asperity than she had used to herself-in fact more in sorrow than in anger.
