Excerpt from Six Months Hence, Vol. 1 of 3: Being Passages From the Life of Maria (Née) SecretanI found myself at Hastings for the first time. I was young enough, as far as years went, and - I suppose I need not ignore the fact - far from ordinary looking. But I was in very ordinary attire, and my single hair-trunk, a chattel which had shared my school-days, and bore Maria Secretan on a brass plate at the side, was lifted from the coach with little ceremony.I requested it might be taken to Mrs. Armitage's. Boots looked surprised, but only for a moment: it was obvious that I might be going there to service. He thought again, and from his increased lack of observance apparently divined the less pleasant fact that I was going there as governess.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
