About this book
A chapter heading brings together the subject of a school and the beginning of housing work. The account calls the removal to 14, Nottingham Place one of the great crises in Octavia's life. A letter describes giving every girl a book for her answers to examination questions each half-year, so that parents could see her progress.
A letter expresses gratitude for friends, knowledge or rather sight, power and hope, all increasing steadily, among the blessings added each year. A letter to her mother describes the Ranger’s Lodge as an old mansion with great panelled rooms painted white and hung with old portraits.
