At present , servants are treated as children are , —too indulgently , or too severely- ' The effort which the young ladies had been induced to make was evidently irksome ; their governess , too wise to associate |>* in with ther pWect she had in view , returned home with them , conversing on light and pleasant subjects . Her pupils % r ^ soon engrossed witn some relations who had arrived during their
