| Back | Mr. Rivers came up as, having seen the classes, now numbering sixty girls, file out before me, and locked the door, I stood with the key in my hand, exchanging a few words of special farewell with some half-dozen of my best scholars: as decent, respectable, modest, and well-informed young women as could be found in the ranks of the British peasantry. And that is saying a great deal; for after all, the British peasantry are the best taught, best mannered, most self-respecting of any in Europe: since those days I have seen paysannes and Bauerinnen; and the best of them seemed to me ignorant, coarse, and besotted, compared with my Morton girls. |

| Front | John Rivers llegó cuando yo, después de haberme despedido de las sesenta muchachas alineadas ante mí, cambiaba nuevos adioses con las mejores de mis discípulas: media docena de muchachas recatadas, modestas e instruidas como no se encontrarían fácilmente en el resto de Inglaterra ni en toda Europa. |
