She was bold, enterprising, fond of sport and exercise; loved to dress like her brothers, and to share in their escapades. Dolls she contemptuously put aside, preferring drums; and a sword or a gun was valued at much more than a dolls house.

Between her own inclinations and her mothers ideas of maidenly culture a great contest immediately arose.
