About this book

The Young Step-Mother, subtitled A Chronicle of Mistakes, is by Charlotte M. Yonge. The account describes Albinia as more accustomed to boys than girls and already more at ease with her son than with her daughters. Gilbert helps with hammer and chisel as boxes are opened, while Albinia faces difficulty finding a place for her books amid a scarcity of books and bookcases.

Maurice's father feels uncomfortable dealing sharply with so young a child and sets the boy aside with a warning to remember what was said. Albinia cannot tell whether Genevieve suspects the love that is evident to onlookers.
