And though she seems to love her scratchpad, she uses it not. I imagine the carpet serves as the real thing.

Wait (oh why am I always late to the party? I need to come here every day,not twice a week).

What about the Orange? Yes, there is an orange in this book. It's the salary Jane pays the little orphan girl who works as her maid in the village school funded by Mr. Oliver. At least, on the first day. The little orphan child, Alice Wood by name, is still hard at it on Nov 5, a holiday (perhaps she's non-union?) and Jane pays her in real coin this time. A penny. She is well satisfied.

Query: would the orange be worth more or less than a penny, and where did Jane get it in rural Yorkshire in the fall?

"All the children learned an important lesson about autonomy that day."

You know, I first read that as "anatomy." And that works too.

I love this version too. I think this is the real story, and the other was just a recurring nightmare.
