It was rather hard work to persuade the old Master of St. Benedict\'s that Lucy ought to go to Newnham. He belonged to the old school—he was almost the last left of that school—that did not believe very much in women. He believed in a girl learning to sew, and to spell, and play a little air on the piano—he was very fond of \'Annie Laurie,\' he could listen to it by the hour; he went so far, indeed, as the three R\'s in a woman\'s education—and he stopped there.
