`` And if you want me at any time , pa , you can send for me , and I can be here in a moment , '' said Pet . `` It will be so delightful ! '' `` It is a private school , and , if your daughter prefers , she can be taught separately from the other pupils . Miss Pillbody , the teacher , tells me that she can give her an hour and a half in the morning , before ten o'clock , and half an hour in the afternoon , after four o'clock . '' `` That will suit me exactly , pa , '' cried Pet , clapping her hands with glee ; `` because then I can get your breakfast , dinner , and supper , and do all the housework , without any interruption in my studies . '' `` Miss Pillbody thought the arrangement would suit you . She is a perfectly competent teacher of French , Italian , the English branches , music , drawing , the dead languages , and higher mathematics -- quite a prodigy , I assure you , for a lady not yet twenty-two years old .
