Behind a Mask by Louisa May Alcott
Has she come? No, Mamma, not yet. I wish it were well over. The thought of it worries and excites me. A cushion for my back, Bella. And poor, peevish Mrs. Coventry sank into an easy chair with a nervous sigh and the air of a martyr, while her pretty daughter hovered about her with affectionate solicitude. Who are they talking of, Lucia? asked the languid young man lounging on a couch near his cousin, who bent over her tapestry work with a happy smile on her usually haughty face. The new governess, Miss Muir. Shall I tell you about her? No, thank you. I have an inveterate aversion to the whole tribe. I've often thanked heaven that I had but one sister, and she a spoiled child, so that I have escaped the infliction of a governess so long.Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) is the beloved author of Little Women, which was inspired by her childhood in New England with her parents and three sisters. Louisa May Alcott's stories continue to thrill readers of all ages more than a century after her death.
