The Heart of Una Sackville

by Mrs George de Horne Vaizey
________________________________________________________________
This book is not really in the same league as Pixie, but it
certainly is a well-written story about the inner life of a
young woman in search of a wooer and future husband in the
months and years after she leaves school. All the characters,
men and women, boys and girls, are well-drawn, and the book is
an enjoyable read, which we would recommend, particularly to the
fairer sex. Dated in 1895, it contains contains a good deal
of local and historical colour, and is worth reading for the
insight into the social background of girls of the professional
middle classes of those days.

Lena Streatham gave me this diary. I can't think what possessed her,
for she has been simply hateful to me sometimes this last term. Perhaps
it was remorse, because it's awfully handsome, with just the sort of
back I like--soft Russia leather, with my initials in the corner, and a
clasp with a dear little key, so that you can leave it about without
other people seeing what is inside. I always intended to keep a diary
when I left school and things began to happen, and I suppose I must have
said so some day; I generally do blurt out what is in my mind, and Lena
heard and remembered. She's not a bad girl, except for her temper, but
I've noticed the hasty ones are generally the most generous. There are
hundreds and hundreds of leaves in it, and I expect it will be years
