"I am trying for the Scholarship, and if I win it I shall remain at Cherry Court School for three years at Sir John's expense.  I shall be known as the Cherry Court Scholarship girl, and be much respected by my companions; so you, Aunt Susan, will have nothing to say to my subsequent education.  I shall be very pleased to wash my hands of you.  I think, Mummy, that is about all, and we had better go now.  There will be a better tea for us at home, and I for one am rather hungry."
