Ledger of Joshua Collins.
Financial notation.
New governess hired at the rate of four dollars a month. Not the heartiest sum, however Abigail seems convinced that Miss Victoria Winters — or so she claims — is the agent of Satan. Whether or not this is true, the financial arrangement seems prudent in the extreme. She claims to play the clavichord, and if so, might perhaps prove useful at the wedding. Abigail will be met by negotiation, despite her citation of Mother’s truism, “When the face of evil presents itself, it must be crushed and destroyed.”
True, save when such a bargain appears.
