A Great and Terrible Beauty Chapter 34

By Libba Bray

Chapter 34

The chapel is full of girls singing; Pippa whispers to Gemma that she only lied about Miss Moore to let them share one more night together.
But Gemma won't respond. She's ticked off.
Pippa tries to excuse herself by saying that Miss Moore did have a hand in their situation, and then she begs Gemma to take her back to the realms one more time to say goodbye to the knight.
It is useless, though, because Gemma is determined to ignore her.
After dinner, Gemma goes off alone with her French book, waiting to hear Miss Moore leaving Spence so that she can talk to her.
Miss Moore is kind to Gemma, who is so ashamed and sad for what they've done—her teacher says she is going to travel and find a flat in London.
She invites Gemma to call on her there in the future, and says that she is different from the other girls and perhaps they will meet again.
