Excerpt from Barbara Bellamy: A Public School Girl
Mrs Perret rose from her seat and prepared to follow the man, accompanied by her nephew, whose face wore an expression of such reluctance that his aunt, catching sight of it, remarked, Don't look so martyred, Hector. You will like Barbara very much, and Sir Hugh is a very courtly old gentleman. But, for goodness' sake, don't talk slang! I doubt whether Barbara has ever heard any; and she certainly never uses any herself, and will be shocked to hear you using some of your schoolboy expressions.'

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book vividly portrays the story of Barbara Bellamy, a bright, red-haired school girl growing up in a rural setting during the early 20th century. It follows her as she navigates the complexities of life, from the challenges of her eccentric upbringing under the tutelage of her irascible grandfather to her struggles fitting into the world around her. The author deftly employs a classical education as a backdrop to the story, exploring themes of individuality, social conformity, and the search for personal identity within the constraints of societal expectations. As Barbara interacts with the world beyond her secluded home through her friendships and experiences, she begins to question the isolated life she has known and grapples with the desire for human connection. This book offers a poignant and often humorous commentary on the clash between traditional values and the changing society of the time. Through Barbara's journey, it invites readers to reflect on the importance of embracing personal growth, challenging societal norms, and forging meaningful connections with others.
