"Excuse me, Miss Vigers, but I hardly see that it is your business to criticise my way of teaching."

"That gives you no right to be rude to me!"
Henrietta took a step towards her.
"Rude? And you? I consider you insolent. Ever since you came to the school you have been impossible. You go your own way, teach in your own way——"
"I do as I'm told," said Alwynne sharply.
