Chapter 1: It was a great shock to Justine and Sylvia Lovel when they were told that Patricia Redgold was coming to live with them. They argued over the matter, and showed considerable discontent. Justine and Sylvia were sisters who never quarrelled, who were heart and soul as one in the pursuit of every branch of knowledge and amusement. They had each their own aim in life, and these aims were distinct and separate, Justine being musical, Sylvia fond of painting. They had never been sent to school, their father and mother preferring a home education for their girls; but they had companions whom they truly loved, and a governess who in all respects suited them. In short, their life was full. It was happy. It was interesting. To have a third girl break in on the sacredness of their friendship seemed to them very hard, and they said as much to Mrs. Lovel by reverting to the old proverb that "three is trumpery." (#00002192)
