Excerpt from Anne Sherwood, Vol. 2 of 3: Or the Social Institutions of England Annie Sherwood found that several of Geraldine's predictions were verified, not that she was admitted to the drawing-room, but Mrs. Maberly really did show herself good-natured. She gave Annie free permission to go and see her friends (she had so many to see!) when her day's work was over, and frequently desired her to take the six children to see various sights, including the wonders of Madame Tussaud's artistic galleries, and the axe (the very identical axe) in the Tower, which had slain the fair Anne Boleyn, the Spanish collar of torture, and other pleasant things. Now a governess is seldom privileged to see all these nice things, and if so favored, she ought to feel especially grateful, and behave like the good little girl in Dr. Mavor's spelling-book, whose aunt took her to see Miss Cox's baby-house. But our heroine, being, alas! very imperfect, did not feel as happy and thankful as she ought. One great pleasure she had which she really did appreciate, she was located in a delightful little study, which happened to contain a select library of works of fiction.
