Seen
by
the
dim
light
of
the
dips
,
their
number
to
me
appeared
countless
,
though
not
in
reality
exceeding
eighty
;
they
were
uniformly
dressed
in
brown
stuff
frocks
of
quaint
fashion
,
and
long
holland
pinafores
.
It
was
the
hour
of
study
;
they
were
engaged
in
conning
over
their
to-morrow
's
task
,
and
the
hum
I
had
heard
was
the
combined
result
of
their
whispered
repetitions
.
Miss
Miller
signed
to
me
to
sit
on
a
bench
near
the
door
,
then
walking
up
to
the
top
of
the
long
room
she
cried
out
--
"
Monitors
,
collect
the
lesson-books
and
put
them
away
!
"
Four
tall
girls
arose
from
different
tables
,
and
going
round
,
gathered
the
books
and
removed
them
.
Miss
Miller
again
gave
the
word
of
command
--
"
Monitors
,
fetch
the
supper-trays
!
"
The
tall
girls
went
out
and
returned
presently
,
each
bearing
a
tray
,
with
portions
of
something
,
I
knew
not
what
,
arranged
thereon
,
and
a
pitcher
of
water
and
mug
in
the
middle
of
each
tray
.
The
portions
were
handed
round
;
those
who
liked
took
a
draught
of
the
water
,
the
mug
being
common
to
all
.
When
it
came
to
my
turn
,
I
drank
,
for
I
was
thirsty
,
but
did
not
touch
the
food
,
excitement
and
fatigue
rendering
me
incapable
of
eating
:
I
now
saw
,
however
,
that
it
was
a
thin
oaten
cake
shaved
into
fragments
.
The
meal
over
,
prayers
were
read
by
Miss
Miller
,
and
the
classes
filed
off
,
two
and
two
,
upstairs
.
Overpowered
by
this
time
with
weariness
,
I
scarcely
noticed
what
sort
of
a
place
the
bedroom
was
,
except
that
,
like
the
schoolroom
,
I
saw
it
was
very
long
.
To-night
I
was
to
be
Miss
Miller
's
bed-fellow
;
she
helped
me
to
undress
:
when
laid
down
I
glanced
at
the
long
rows
of
beds
,
each
of
which
was
quickly
filled
with
two
occupants
;
in
ten
minutes
the
single
light
was
extinguished
,
and
amidst
silence
and
complete
darkness
I
fell
asleep
.
The
night
passed
rapidly
.
I
was
too
tired
even
to
dream
;
I
only
once
awoke
to
hear
the
wind
rave
in
furious
gusts
,
and
the
rain
fall
in
torrents
,
and
to
be
sensible
that
Miss
Miller
had
taken
her
place
by
my
side
.
When
I
again
unclosed
my
eyes
,
a
loud
bell
was
ringing
;
the
girls
were
up
and
dressing
;
day
had
not
yet
begun
to
dawn
,
and
a
rushlight
or
two
burned
in
the
room
.
I
too
rose
reluctantly
;
it
was
bitter
cold
,
and
I
dressed
as
well
as
I
could
for
shivering
,
and
washed
when
there
was
a
basin
at
liberty
,
which
did
not
occur
soon
,
as
there
was
but
one
basin
to
six
girls
,
on
the
stands
down
the
middle
of
the
room
.
Again
the
bell
rang
:
all
formed
in
file
,
two
and
two
,
and
in
that
order
descended
the
stairs
and
entered
the
cold
and
dimly
lit
schoolroom
:
here
prayers
were
read
by
Miss
Miller
;
afterwards
she
called
out
--
"
Form
classes
!
"
A
great
tumult
succeeded
for
some
minutes
,
during
which
Miss
Miller
repeatedly
exclaimed
,
"
Silence
!
"
and
"
Order
!
"
When
it
subsided
,
I
saw
them
all
drawn
up
in
four
semicircles
,
before
four
chairs
,
placed
at
the
four
tables
;
all
held
books
in
their
hands
,
and
a
great
book
,
like
a
Bible
,
lay
on
each
table
,
before
the
vacant
seat
.
A
pause
of
some
seconds
succeeded
,
filled
up
by
the
low
,
vague
hum
of
numbers
;
Miss
Miller
walked
from
class
to
class
,
hushing
this
indefinite
sound
.
A
distant
bell
tinkled
:
immediately
three
ladies
entered
the
room
,
each
walked
to
a
table
and
took
her
seat
.
Miss
Miller
assumed
the
fourth
vacant
chair
,
which
was
that
nearest
the
door
,
and
around
which
the
smallest
of
the
children
were
assembled
:
to
this
inferior
class
I
was
called
,
and
placed
at
the
bottom
of
it
.
