But I don't think it's unreasonable for each one to have one nice set; and one best set can be used for lots of things other than pjust parties. What's "unreasonable" about that?
And it's clear that a good deal of trouble is gone to make sure that when there is a party in the offing, all children who are going to it do have nice clothes to wear. So your argument on that point falls down, unless you're sticking to the idea that to be "nice" means "brand new, never before worn by any other sister".
And perhaps one term's fees would have been enough for something else to come up.
And perhaps not. Also, you know, it wasn't a question then of "Horses or school fees". The school fees were raised later.
