Evelyn smiled and lowered her eyes. Her manner irritated her aunt extremely.
“Well,” she said, “go on; we will not discuss the fact of the form you ought to be in. What lessons do you do?”
“Oh, history, grammar; I suppose, the usual English subjects.”
“Yes, yes; but history—that is interesting. English history?”
“Yes, Aunt Frances.”
“What part of the history?”
“We are doing the reigns of the Edwards now.”
“Ah! can you tell me anything with regard to the reign of Edward I.?”
Evelyn colored. Lady Frances watched her.
