Frank Fairlegh
I, Frank Fairlegh, age 15, am off to London, to complete my schooling as one of the select set of pupils studying under the Rev. Dr. Mildman. "Yes, sir, master's in, sir," says the manservant who answers my timorous knock at the door. "So you're Mr. Fairlegh, sir, our new young gent, sir?" (here the ludicrous expression predominates); "hope you'll be comfortable, sir" (here he nearly bursts into a laugh); "show you into master's study, sir, directly" (here he becomes preternaturally grave again); and, opening the study door, he ushers me into the presence of the dreaded tutor. "A pleasant journey, had you?" inquires "Mrs." Mildman, later at the evening table, while offering a platter of fish. "Not any, I am much obliged to you," I reply, thinking of the fish. This produces a total silence. I am plainly proving myself, on my first day "Frank Fairlegh, Scenes from the Life of a Private Pupil, Vol. 1," offers a delightful look into the unassuming and irreverent mind of a young pupil of mid-19th century England.
