The single gas jet burning at the end of the corridor was so dim and made so flickering a light that it added more to the shadows of the passage than it provided illumination. It was hard to discover which were realities and which shadows in the long gallery. Not a ray of light appeared at any of the transoms over the dormitory doors; yet that might not mean that there were no lights burning within the duo and quartette rooms in the East Dormitory of Briarwood Hall. There were ways of shrouding the telltale transoms and—without doubt—the members of the advanced junior classes had learned such little tricks of the trade of being a schoolgirl.

The Ruth Fielding series of books tells the story of Ruth, an orphan. Initially she lives with her uncle who is penny-pinching and miserable. She escapes him and as she grows up she has many adventures. Eventually she is involved in movie making, solving mysteries (before Nancy Drew), and she eventually becomes a wife and has a family. The later part of the series is noted for being written by Mildred Wirt Benton, author of part of the Nancy Drew series. This is a very nostalgic series, written in a formal style.
