Description:'Fifteen, Elizabeth Green!' called the school monitress, and young Elizabeth ran to answer. 'Fifteen' was the number that had been allotted to her when she first arrived at the orphanage, many years before; it was sewn on all her clothes and stamped in all her books. And now she was going to leave it behind her for ever. She was fifteen years old and had been offered her first post as a governess, in charge of Donata Deveril. Young though Elizabeth was, she had a rare gift for dealing with unruly small children; and sad though she was to leave the orphanage, where she had lived a quiet and happy school life, nervous though she was at the thought of her new post, she set out to love and care for her new charge. But as soon as she reached Deveril Court, Elizabeth found that a mistake had been made. Donata wasn't a naughty six-year old at all; she was a wild harum-scarum girl of Elizabeth's own age, rampaging round the countryside with her cousin Nelmort. The Deverils had expected a strict elderly governess who could take Donata in hand, and though Elizabeth did her best, she knew in her heart that she was too young for the post. Must she go back to the orphanage, a failure? Set against the background of Regency England, this story shows a gentle girl struggling to live up to her principles and to instil her own faith, her own tranquility of mind, into a pair of delightful scape-grace cousins.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
