 Description: So you are going away from Mecca to be "Addie" no longer, but Mistress1. To leave "Maple Grove", Papa, Laurie, and Auntie (to say nothing of the rest.) and install yourself as head of a large school, to "teach the young scholars how to shoot". I fancy I see you just ringing the first bell; then as that strange motley crowd gathers in and by pairs sort themselves, and then then as you tap the bell to secure order. I seem to see you look around as if seeking if some friend were there. Did I hear aright? Methought I heard a chapter from the Bible by way of introduction. Then I heard that silvery voice - perhaps at first tremblingly - addressing the school in accents of kindness saying you will love and wish to be loved. Do not fear, my love. I have been in the same place.
