Dear teachers,
Would you be kind enough to tell me whether I am right with my interpretation of the expression in bold in the following sentence?
Miss Sedley's papa was a merchant in London, and a man of some wealth; whereas Miss Sharp was an articled pupil, for whom Miss Pinkerton had done, as she thought, quite enough, without conferring upon her at parting the high honor of the Dictionary.
article = to bind by articles set forth in a contract, such as one of apprenticeship
articled pupil = pupil , taken to training on the contract, who has to work in return to his tuition
Thank you again for your kindness.
Regards,
V.
