Wondering if Effie could spend two months with them and then return with Louisa to Scotland, since Louisa agrees that she should not leave home again before the end of the holiday. George is now reading Kenilworth in view of a trip he is to take to Warwick and Kenilworth with Effie. Like Effie, he seems to feel the cold of England more than she would have expected. He lacks energy and, like Effie, may need "a little strengthening medicine," or perhaps "his father's cheerful and lively spirits to raise him to fun and merriment." Having questioned him, she believes that he should see a doctor.

Answering Mrs. Gray's inquiry by saying she has the highest praise for the Miss Ainsworths. The school life is much more carefully planned than during the Miss Byerleys' last year. Though she can sympathize with Effie's difficulties, she thinks they will lessen. She and Mr. Parker both believe that Effie needs the "regular drudgery of school lessons" after "the liberty and large range she has so long enjoyed." Her "mind is too forward for her years, & too sensitive & excitable." Another year of "regular plodding thro' ground work" would "perhaps prove the best antidote," and "would be well bestowed."

Saying that perhaps her parents will permit her to come for the Easter holidays if they know that she will have the same holiday even if she spends it at the school. If they still say "no," we must all "cheerfully acquiesce." Effie should write about her work and friends.

Reporting that she took the girls back to school: "your lively little daughter was chattering the whole way." Effie's box was too large to be taken, so that Mrs. Parker now has a chance to have her clothes mended and altered. She was not feeling well for a day or so, and Mrs. Parker is having the expense for medicine and doctor put on the school bill. Mrs. Gray has "every reason for comfort and satisfaction in the character and conduct" of her "dear child. She is so artless that I think she could not do wrong without confessing it," and has gone back resolved to try hard for a prize. It will be more difficult to win, since she is now among the older girls. Mrs. Parker hopes that she will return for Easter holidays, and often thereafter. She will be glad to hear that the Grays' children have recovered from measles.
