to the schoolroom very cross with her governess,
because it was her fault that Aniuta would never
tell her anything. It became more difficult every
day for the poor Englishwoman to get on with
her pupil.
From the conversation she overheard, Tania
had just gathered some such notions as that it
was out of fashion for young people to obey their
elders, and this of course weakened her own
respect for discipline. Now quarrels with her
governess occurred daily, until, at last, after an
unusually excited scene, Malvina Jakovlevna
declared that she was not going to stay any
longer with the Rajevskis.
As this threat had been repeated so often, Tania
did not take much notice of it. This time,
however, it proved to be serious. The governess on
her side had gone too far to retract with honour,
and on the other side everybody had become so
sick of the constant scenes and quarrels that
Tania’s parents did not attempt to retain her,
hoping that perhaps the house might become
quieter when she was gone.
But up to the last moment Tania did not
believe that her governess was really going.
