Wildflower Girl
“FRIDAY! PEGGY WAS SO excited she thought she would burst. At last her month’s trial was up.

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 bre...akages, so it’s the full amount.’She passed Peggy a sealed brown envelope.

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.MoreLess
