As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

Excerpt from The Garden at Monkholme, Vol. 3 of 3: A Novel In the early spring Violet went to Scotland. Mr. Donaldson lived in a lonely and beautiful spot among the mountains. Violet had never been there before, nor had she ever seen Miss Donaldson till she was met by her in her own house. That lady was a stiff and angular old maid, with rather harsh manners and a very kind heart. She spoke with a strong accent, and did not speak very much; she had led a quiet and narrow life, had had little experience of human nature, and no experience at all of fashionable society.

Annie Armitt
Edit Profileessayist novelist short story writer poet
Education
The sisters were all well educated, and Armitt—who knew from an early age that she wanted to be a writer—studied English literature at Islington House Academy.
Career
She was also one of the founders of a school in Eccles, England. This academy was in Salford and it trained people to teach along Pestalozzian principles. Armitt traveled to Paris in 1866 with Sophie to study French, but the following year her father died unexpectedly and she returned to England.
Armitt published her first novel, The Garden at Monkholme, in 1878.
lieutenant was critically well received, with The Westminster Review praising it as "a new departure in fiction" for its focus on characters who were unattractive and for Armitt"s ability to make drama out of commonplace events. Similarly, The Scottish Review admired it for Armitt"s outstanding depiction of character.
Her 1885 novel In Shallow Waters was praised for its compelling depiction of the self-sacrificing protagonist, Henry Dilworth. An excerpt from this novel gives a sense of Armitt"s dry, Austenian style at its best: "She did not admire clever girls, and was never enthusiastic in her praise of good ones—those at least, who were specially marked out as such by their parochial visitations and love of week-day services..She was inclined to insinuate that any one who made a very visible application of herself to heavenly things must be drawn thereto by a lack of earthly prosperity." Armitt also published poems, short stories, and essays, including a brief life of Mary Shelley.
The poet Robert Browning wrote that he was impressed by some of her poems.
In 1882, Armitt"s sisters came to live near Hawkshead in the town of Rydal, and after being widowed, Armitt joined them there in 1894. The sisters lived together until Sophie and Louie died in 1908 and 1911.
