INTRODUCTION.
For those who have not read the first volume of this series, “Witch Winnie, the Story of a King’s Daughter.”
We four girls,
- Adelaide Armstrong,
- Milly Roseveldt,
- Emma Jane Anton,
- Nellie Smith,
(Let it here be explained that although my name is Nellie, I am never called anything but Tib by my friends.)
We occupied a little suite of apartments in the tower, consisting of a small study parlor from which opened two double bedrooms and one single one. Our family was called the Amen Corner, because our initials, arranged as an acrostic, spelled the word Amen, and because we were a set of little Pharisees, prigs, and “digs,” not particularly admired by the rest of the school, but exceedingly virtuous and preternaturally perfect in our own estimation.
