Summary: "By Honour Bound: A School Story for Girls" by Bessie Marchant is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows a young girl named Dorothy Sedgewick as she arrives at the Compton Schools, where she navigates the complexities of school life, friendships, and competitions, particularly with her rival, Rhoda Fleming. Themes of honour, identity, and ambition intertwine as Dorothy grapples with her own values in a school environment rife with social challenges.

The narrative explores her excitement and apprehension as she adjusts to school life, makes new friends, and confronts the harsh realities of competition, particularly for the coveted Lamb Bursary.
