Explore "Hollyhock, a Spirit of Mischief" by L.T. Meade on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
A fortnight with so much excitement in the air passes very quickly. The girls felt this excitement, although they did not talk of it one to the other.
Leucha sat alone when she was not engaged at her school tasks, and made her essay on the kitchen cat as venomous as she knew how. Luckily for poor Leucha, she had not the ability to do much in the way of sarcasm, and although every single girl in the school must know at a glance that this feeble caricature was meant for their beloved Hollyhock, it would certainly not injure the dear Hollyhock in the least.
