Ethne St. Ives passes the first dozen years of her life in luxury at thehouse of a maiden aunt; but on the death of the latter she is sent toschool, very much against her will. At school, she rebels againstauthority, and is in danger of being universally disliked for her airsand affectations. She makes up her mind that she will not learnanything; that she will not make friends with anybody. At length,however, she learns to appreciate the joys of friendship and the valueof corporate spirit, and develops into a very lovable character.
