What Maisie Knew
Authorship not stated
You play Maisie, a young child shuttled between parents who use you to carry insults neither will deliver in person. Your father's governess, Miss Overmore, is the first adult who treats you as a person rather than a messenger, until your mother dismisses her. At your mother's house a new governess, Mrs Wix, refuses to relay one more unkind word through you, and the chapter ends with news that rearranges the household again: your father has married Miss Overmore.
