Wildflower Girl
“FRIDAY! PEGGY WAS SO excited she thought she would burst. At last her month’s trial was up.
Her first wages and afternoon off, and both on the one day – it was too good to be true. She had planned exactly where she was going.Mrs Madden called Peggy to her room.‘Sit down, Peggy. Are you happy here?’ Peggy nodded. ‘Mrs O’Connor and I are both well pleased with your work. I have your wages here. There’s no deduction for uniforms as in some households, and Mrs O’Connor told me there were no breakages, so it’s the full amount.’She passed Peggy a sealed brown envelope. As Peggy got up to leave, Mrs Madden added: ‘I know it’s exciting and tempting when you get your first wages, but may I suggest you save most of it and spend only on essentials. Boston winters are cold and hard and you will most likely need a warm coat later on and strong boots for outside. Kitty will tell you where to go for such things.’Peggy tried to look sensible and calm as she closed the door behind her.
