Excerpt from The Master of Marton, Vol. 1 of 3 Perhaps Miss Milly, being the last of the seven, might have been permitted to remain at home for an indefinite period, had it not chanced that the sister next above her was afflicted by an incurable affection of the spine, so that, for her, matrimony and teaching being alike out of the question, she was perforce obliged to assume the immunities of the youngest, while Milly obtained a most eligible situation as governess in the family of a worthy and well-to-do country gentleman, who was blessed with an easy tempered young wife and a large family of small children.
