About this book
The Making of Mona is by Mabel Quiller-Couch, and a picture caption reads "Granny stood staring at her broken treasures". Mona sits on the floor with the kettle on the hob, "both as idle as idle could be", and is "completely lost in the story she was reading."
Mrs. Barnes says, "Your stepmother has been ill again, and the doctor says she mustn't be left alone, and must have someone to help her." Mona's mother had died when Mona "was a sturdy little maiden of ten, and for eighteen months Mona had run wild." Mona "had been his housekeeper" for her father, who "married pretty, gentle Lucy Garland, one of the housemaids at the Squire's." Mona wishes she had said honestly, "Granny, Mrs. Lane was right, I did pull over the faggots and forgot them. It was my fault that you tripped and fell."
