Explore "My School Days" by Edith Nesbit on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
She was the most beautiful person in the world. She had brown eyes and pink cheeks, a blue silk dress and a white bonnet with orange-blossoms in it. She had two pairs of shoes and two pairs of stockings, and she had two wigs, a brown and a flaxen one. All her clothes took off and on, and there was a complete change of them.
I saw her first at a bazaar and longed to possess her, but her price was two guineas, and no hope mingled with my longing.
