So Long At the Fair
“Although Abbie enjoyed the annual school summer holidays, nevertheless there were times when she found herself looking forward to being back at her desk in the classroom again. Now, in these days of high summer her pupils were in all probability occupied with their usual seasonal employment – working in the fields to bring in the harvest. She looked from the window at the small, sun-drenched front garden, and beyond it to the lane, then turned back to the looking-glass and ran a smoothing hand ...over her hair. She was expecting Louis to call at any moment. He had written to say he had to be in the area, and that if she was not otherwise engaged he would like to see her.
If she was not otherwise engaged. No, that was not the case, and indeed was not likely to be. Turning from the glass she once again glanced along the lane. She felt strangely restless. She wondered at it, but told herself it was due to her absence from the schoolroom – and also to the loss of her mother.
