About this book

Fourteen-year-old Ermengarde Wilton declares that she will no longer obey her governess, Miss Nelson, while her plain, sensible younger sister Marjorie looks on anxiously, in the first scene of L. T. Meade's family story. Ermengarde is set on meeting Basil, who is coming home from school, and chapters such as The Day of the Picnic, Locked in the Cupboard, A Stolen Treasure and Father's Birthday follow the household. The dedication, dated August 1891, names a child called Marjory as the inspiration for the Marjorie of the story.
