Madame Talvande’s School for Girls , a boarding school with a strict headmistress that had no tolerance for boys. One girl at the boarding school found a way around the tight rules of no boys and had an affair. The headmistress became infuriated, to prove her point and insure there were no more affairs she instructed that there be a tall gate be built around the big house on Legare Street.
