Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"A Girl in Spring-Time" by Jessie Mansergh is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story begins at a boarding school just before the midsummer holidays, where a group of schoolgirls eagerly talk about their summer plans. The central character introduced is Mildred Moore, a bright and strong girl who looks forward to spending time with her mother and siblings during the break, only to face an unexpected and serious family crisis that prevents her from going home. The opening of the novel paints a vivid picture of school life and friendships among the girls, showcasing their personalities and their excitement for the holidays. As they share their plans for picnics and outings, focus shifts to Mildred, who learns that her younger brother has fallen ill with scarlet fever, leading to her being unable to join her friends for the holidays. The narrative highlights her feelings of despair and isolation, as well as the bond she shares with her schoolmistress, Miss Margaret, who offers her support. The opening chapters set the stage for a tale filled with emotions as Mildred navigates the challenges of growing up while longing for her home and family.
