Frost in May by Antonia White

My two favourite things in this book
1) The headmistress's speech to the girls, that old staple of school stories, runs as follows.
"Some of that severity which to the world seems harshness is bound up in the school rule which you are privileged to follow .... We work today to turn out, not accomplished young women, nor agreeable wives, but soldiers of Christ, accustomed to hardship and ridicule and ingratitude."
AWESOME.
2) Leonie de Wesseldorf. omg omg what an awesome character.
