Résumé
I WONDER whether, if you had seen Lady Lucy sitting at her work that warm August morning, you would have thought her a person to be envied. She certainly looked very pretty, and not at all unhappy, as she sat in her straight-backed chair, carrying her long-waisted, snugly-laced little figure very upright, her shoulders down, and her chin drawn in, -bridled, as the phrase went. In those days-for this was at the beginning of the eighteenth century-great attention was paid to the carriage of young ladies, -more than appears to be thought necessary at the present time, to judge by the attitudes into which I often see little girls throw themselves, even in company.
They were taught to sit and stand very upright, to carry their arms carefully, to turn out their toes and hold up their heads. No stooping was permitted over books or work; and while Lady Lucy was living with her aunt Bernard, she used to have a bunch of knitting-needles stuck into her bodice, to keep her from "poking" over her work.
