This chapter explores Nell's experiences at Miss Matheson's Academy, detailing the structured curriculum inspired by the three Graces—Aglaia, Brilliance, and Joy—and the disciplinary environment enforced by Miss Stricken. Nell excels in most subjects but faces harsh punishment and humiliation from Miss Stricken, culminating in a moment of resistance where Nell disarms her teacher but ultimately submits to the corporal punishment, reflecting her internal conflict between rebellion and discipline.
