"A Modern Tomboy" by L. T. Meade explores the dynamics of a newly established home school at Sunnyside, where Mrs. Merriman, driven by financial necessity, opens her home to six boarders. The story begins with the arrival of these girls, each with distinct personalities, and the challenges they bring to Lucy Merriman, the professor's daughter. Lucy, accustomed to being an only child, struggles with feelings of jealousy and displacement as she navigates the changes in her home environment. The narrative delves into the interactions between Lucy and the new students, particularly focusing on Rosamund Cunliffe, a charismatic and strong-willed girl who quickly becomes a central figure among her peers. The tension between Lucy and Rosamund is palpable, as Lucy grapples with her insecurities and the fear of losing her place in her father's affections. The arrival of the two resident governesses, Mademoiselle Omont and Miss Archer, adds another layer to the story, as they bring structure and order to the school. However, Rosamund's influence remains strong, challenging Lucy's sense of belonging. The story also highlights the role of Aunt Susan, a wise and understanding figure who provides Lucy with guidance and support. Through her interactions with Aunt Susan, Lucy begins to confront her feelings of jealousy and learns the importance of selflessness and acceptance. The narrative captures the complexities of adolescence, the struggle for identity, and the journey towards personal growth and understanding within the microcosm of a home school setting.
