When Anna was nine years old, Brangwen sent her to the dames’ school in Cossethay. There she went, flipping1 and dancing in her inconsequential fashion, doing very much as she liked, disconcerting old Miss Coates by her indifference2 to respectability and by her lack of reverence3. Anna only laughed at Miss Coates, liked her, and patronised her in superb, childish fashion.

The girl was at once shy and wild. She had a curious contempt for ordinary people, a benevolent4 superiority. She was very shy, and tortured with misery5 when people did not like her. On the other hand, she cared very little for anybody save her mother, whom she still rather resentfully worshipped, and her father, whom she loved and patronised, but upon whom she depended. These two, her mother and father, held her still in fee. But she was free of other people, towards whom, on the whole, she took the benevolent attitude. She deeply hated ugliness or intrusion or arrogance7, however. As a child, she was as proud and shadowy as a tiger, and as aloof9. She could confer favours, but, save from her mother and father, she could receive none. She hated people who came too near to her. Like a wild thing, she wanted her distance. She mistrusted intimacy10.

In Cossethay and Ilkeston she was always an alien. She had plenty of acquaintances, but no friends. Very few people whom she met were significant to her. They seemed part of a herd11, undistinguished. She did not take people very seriously.

She had tow brothers, Tom, dark-haired, small, volatile12
