No. 425. "The Governess," Miss M. {sic} Solomon. The composition has been suggested by a passage in Martin Tupper’s “Proverbial Philosophy,” and it tells two stories which are pointedly contrasted. A young lady and a youth are engaged in a flirtation at a piano, while a governess is plodding in weary sadness through a lesson with a very inattentive pupil. The tales are told with expressive perspicuity. (p.167)
