About this book

A Modern Tomboy: A Story for Girls is by L. T. Meade. The contents list chapters called Opening the School, Rosamund Takes the Lead, A Gypsy Tea, Jane in Danger, Booby-Traps and Rosamund to the Rescue. Rosamund's love of power showed itself further in the arrangement of her bedroom, where she took down the dividing curtain between herself and Jane Denton without asking any one's permission.

Early the next day the two teachers arrived, and Mademoiselle Omont was very French in appearance, very dark, with sparkling black eyes. Rosamund now suggested that they should both compete for a small prize, and she chose a subject which she herself knew nothing about. Irene was amazed and lifted out of herself when both Miss Frost and Rosamund discovered that she had as quick and clever a mind as she had a beautiful face.
