Explore "Betty Leicester's Christmas" by Sarah Orne Jewett on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Betty and her father had taken a long journey from London. They had been nearly all day in the train, after a breakfast by candle-light; and it was quite dark, except for the light of the full moon in a misty sky, as they drove up the long avenue at Danesly. Pagot was in great spirits; she was to go everywhere with Betty now, being used to the care of young ladies, and more being expected of this young lady than in the past.
Pagot had been at Danesly before with the Duncans, and had many friends in the household.
