ust before Eleanor turned fifteen,Grandmother Hall decided to send her toboarding school in England. The school she chosewas Allenswood, a private academy for girls locatedon the outskirts of London.It was at Allenswood that Eleanor, still thinkingof herself as an “ugly duckling,” first dared tobelieve that one day she might be able to becomea swan.At Allenswood she worked to toughen herselfphysically. Every day she did exercises in the morning and took acold shower. Although she did not like competitive team sports, asa matter of self-discipline she tried out for field hockey. Not only didshe make the team but, because she played so hard, also won the respectof her teammates.They called her by her family nickname, “Totty,” and showed theiraffection for her by putting books and flowers in her room, as was thecustom at Allenswood. Never before had she experienced the pleasureof having schoolmates actually admire her rather than tease her.At Allenswood, too, she began to look after her health. She finallybroke the habit of chewing her fingernails. She learned to eat nutritiousfoods, to get plenty of sleep, and to take a brisk walk every morning,no matter how miserable the weather.Under the guidance of the school’s headmistress, MademoiselleSouvestre (or “Sou”), she learned to ask searching questions and thinkfor herself instead of just giving back on tests what teachers had said.
