The Family at Misrule

From Wikisource
The Family at Misrule (1895)
by Ethel Turner, illustrated by A. J. Johnson

The second book in the Woolcots, series; The Family at Misrule continues the adventures (and misadventures) of the Seven Little Australians. Not all of them are little now, but with the addition of "The Scrap" they are once again seven. And with almost the same attraction for trouble. [Illustrations and end matter (advertisements) omitted. The ebook with illustrations can be availed at Project Gutenberg.]

Here was discord at Misrule.
Nell, in some mysterious way, had let down a muslin frock of last season till it reached her ankles. And Meg was doing her best to put her foot down upon it. In a metaphorical sense, of course. Meg Woolcot at twenty-one was far too lady-like to resort to a personal struggle with her young sister. But her eyes were distressed.
