CHAPTER IX.
SUMMER HOLIDAYS
It was the midsummer holidays. "No more lessons," said Edith, as she danced around the schoolroom. Soon, however, she rushed up to Miss Green. "But I will miss you, dear Miss Green. I wish you were going with us," and the warm-hearted little girl threw her arms around her governess.
Miss Green was also to take a holiday, and visit her old home in the fine old town of Canterbury, which is one of the most historic places in England, best known for its splendid cathedral, one of the grandest of the many cathedrals of England.
Edith herself was going to spend a part of the summer holidays in Warwickshire, one of the prettiest parts of England,—a lovely rolling country of fields, farms, thatch-roofed cottages, and great country houses.
"SHE WALKED DOWN THE PATH BY THE RIVER AVON"
While there they were to visit Stratford-on-Avon, the home of the great poet Shakespeare.
