PRISCILLA'S trunk was neatly packed. It was a new trunk and had a nice canvas covering over it. The canvas was bound with red braid, and Priscilla's initials were worked on the top in large plain letters. Her initials were P. P. P., and they stood for Priscilla Penywern Peel. The trunk was corded and strapped and put away, and Priscilla stood by her aunt's side in the little parlor of Penywern Cottage. "Well, I think I've told you everything," said the aunt.
I have just started to read, "Priscilla's Promise," but find it to be a very charming depiction of life as it was in those days. I think it is a valuable story for any young girl to read, about coming of age in a sense. Priscilla is confronted with many choices, the trick is to pick the right one! Which she does in a delightful and entertaining way.
