Our New Mistress

Excerpt From Our New Mistress Or Changes At Brookfield Earl. We All Went To The Schools Though My Mother Used To Say We Might Have Looked Higher But They Were Her Ladyship'S Schools. She Took A Great Interest In Them And They Have Always Been Very Superior. My Eldest Sister Is A Lady'S-Maid And The Next Is Mantle-Woman At A First-Rate Draper'S And My Brothers Are All In Good Situations But I Am The Youngest By A Good Bit And Father And Mother Were Quite Willing To Keep Me At Home And Oblige Mrs. Pearson By Letting Me Become A Pupil Teacher.. That Was Not Till After The Changes Had Begun First Her Old Ladyship Died And When Lady Mary Was Gone To Look After A Sick Old Aunt There Was No One At The Park To Care About The Schools As They Had Done. Then His Lordship Sold 'Ruina Tion To The Pottery People. It Was Called The 'Ruination Because It Is Nasty Stiff Clay That Nothing Will Grow On; But Mr. Drake Found It Would Make Pots And Pans And All Those Things So That A Great Pottery Grew Up There Close To The Station And Numbers Of Houses Were Built And Great Tall Chimneys. Luckily It Is A Mile Off And There Is All Huckster'S Copse Between So That We Do Not See It And All The Children Have To Come To School At Brookfield. Such A Rough Lot!
