“A governess?” Temperance echoed back with a mild expression of surprise, never having once heard her niece express such an ambition. For an ambition it was: girls like Blythe were far from sought after commodities for those that wished to educate their children in the comfort of their own homes. She might make a living as a nanny but then her education would work against her – in Temperance’s experience people were rather suspicious of those they considered their social inferiors being more education than they were.

No, it would only hurt Blythe in the long run. Best nip it in the bud.

“Don’t you think that might be a little ambitious with these?” She asked scathingly, holding the results between thumb and forefinger as she held them back out for her niece to take away, the Ps and abundance of As glaring up all too obviously.
