Marianne Dreams
“ Miss Chesterfield Miss Chesterfield, who was the ‘sort of governess’ that Marianne’s mother had engaged, came for the first time the next morning. She wasn’t at all Marianne’s idea of a governess, which was mostly taken from old-fashioned children’s books. Instead of being middle-aged and rather prim and strict, she was quite young and very pretty. She was a little strict, perhaps, in not letting Marianne talk about other things while she was supposed to be doing sums and dictation, but when t...he two hours of lessons were over, she proved to be very friendly and quite prepared to listen to Marianne and to talk herself. Marianne, who had never met a real live governess before, wanted to know a lot about her: what it was like being a governess, how she had started to be one, whom else she had taught, and what the other children were like. Apparently Miss Chesterfield had never lived with one family for years and years, watching them all grow up from the nursery to the schoolroom and the schoolroom to the grown-up world, as Marianne had imagined -though Miss Chesterfield looked as if she hadn’t been grown up herself for very long.MoreLess
