Mr. Hogarth's Will
Authorship not stated
Your uncle's funeral leaves Cross Hall to Francis Hogarth, his unacknowledged son, and a will that gives you and your sister Elsie three years' allowance each, with a clause forbidding either of you from marrying him. Given a month to leave, you list every subject your uncle paid to teach you and learn how little the working world will pay a woman for it. Weighing dressmaking against a governess post, you watch a suitor who once courted you as an heiress arrive to say the money changes nothing.
