Selected Sketches of a Governess in a Noble House
A fragmented reminiscence shows a governess in poverty under a noble family, facing jealousy and control from a rich baronet and a suspicious Lady Isabel. After her confidant Gertrude dies, she flees the estate, meeting a pale baronet figure and later a street scene of courtship. A separate tale follows a Paris shop girl courted by a Baron who tests her patience and temper before proposing marriage. The column also touches on life spans, a hoax at Boston, and brief notes on New York banking and state politics.
