FOR DOROTHEA POTTS
Updated 4th June 2025

Her life needs new direction, one of the following options, due to traditions of marriage for women these will eventually become mutually exclusive but both are stories for now until she marries. They could even be combined, are you a single father who is available to marry? The pretty spinster governess might be for you?

Option 1: With Hyacinth Valenduris now a little old for need of a governess Dorothea is looking for a new and younger charge to continue the career she loves. She had impeccable references and an excellent reputation so would fit into which ever family needs her. At this point in she wont come particularly cheap (honest pay for a good governess) so probably wont be of interest for a working or lower middle class household.

Option 2: A man in the 30-40ish range looking for an intelligent, pretty, and well mannered wife with a few years of personal growth under her belt but no baggage and a closet entirely free from skeletons. He should also be fairly free of personal scandal.
