The Chalet School and the Lintons Quotes

“it was all very well being decent when things were smooth; but we often had rough times given us to show what we were. [. . .] Perhaps we are to have it now. If we are, it's up to us to show how we can deal with it. And we shan't do that by wailing over it.”
― Elinor M. Brent-Dyer, The Chalet School and the Lintons
