"Oh; don't all begin to expatiate about your feelings!" broke in Chatty Burns. "We know Pauline's symptoms only too well: the first day she shows aggressively red eyes and a damp pocket-handkerchief; the second day she writes lengthy letters home; begging to be allowed to return immediately and have lessons with a private governess; the third day she wanders about; trying to get sympathy from anyone who is weak-minded enough to listen to her; till in desperation somebody drags her into the playground; and makes her have a round at hockey. That cheers her up; and she begins to think life isn't quite such a desert. By the fourth morning she has recovered her spirits; and come to the conclusion that Chessington College is a very decent kind of place; and she begins to be alarmed lest her mother; on the strength of the pathetic letter; should have decided to let her leave at once; and should have already engaged a private governess."

"Any new girls?"It was Madge Summers who asked the question, seated on the right-hand corner of Maisie Talbot'sbed, munching caramels. It was a very small bed, but at that moment it managed to accommodateno less than seven of Maisie's most particular friends, who were closely watching the progress of herunpacking, and discussing the latest school news, interspersed with remarks on her belongings.Maisie extricated herself from the depths of her box, and handed a pile of stockings to Lettice, heryounger sister."What's the use of asking me?" she replied. "Our cab only drove up half an hour ago. I feel almostnew myself yet.""So do I, and horribly in the blues too," said Pauline Reynolds. "It's always a wrench to leave home.I'm perfectly miserable for at least three days at the beginning of each term.

“The New Girl at St. Chad's” is a 1912 fictional story by English writer Angela Brazil. Another charming and entertaining school girls' tale by one of the creators of the genre, this is a volume that would be perfect young girls at boarding school and fans of vintage girls' literature. Angela Brazil (1868 – 1947) was an English author most famous for being one of the first writers of "modern schoolgirls' stories". Her stories were presented from the characters' point of view and were written primarily as entertainment rather than moral instruction. During the first half of the 20th century, Brazil published nearly 50 such books, with the vast majority being set in English boarding schools. Brazil's work had a significant influence on changing the nature of fiction for girls. Her charters were chiefly young females, active, independent, and aware. Brazil's books were often considered to be immoral and deviant, leading to their being burned or banned by many Headteachers in girls schools across Britain. Other notable works by this author include: “The School in the Forest” (1944), “Three Terms at Uplands” (1945), “The School on the Loch” (1946). Contents include: “Honor's Home”, “The Wearing of the Green”, “Janie's Charge”, “A Riding Lesson”, “The Lower Third”, “St. Chad's Celebrates an Occasion”, “Honor Finds Favour”, “A Relapse”, “St. Kolgan's Abbey”, “Miss Maitland's Window”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.

Angela Brazil (1868-1947) was the first of the British writers of "modern" School Girls' Stories genre - written from the characters' point of view. Along with her sister Amy, Angela then studied at Heatherley School of Fine Art in London. She was quite late in taking up writing, developing a strong interest in Welsh mythology, and at first wrote a few magazine articles on mythology and nature. It was possibly thanks to her sister Amy that she finally began work on a novel at the age of 35. Exceptionally with respect to many of her contemporaries writing in this vein, Brazil did not write any books in a series - each stood on its own with different characters every time. These were considered to deal accurately and sympathetically with the highs and lows in the lives of middle-class schoolgirls, including the tangle of emotional friendships. Her works include: The New Girl at St. Chad's (1911), For the Sake of the School (1915), The Luckiest Girl in the School (1916) and The Jolliest School of All (1922).
