I must tell you about this lady--Miss Barfoot.
She has private means--not large, but sufficient to allow of her combining benevolence with business.

She makes it her object to train young girls for work in offices, teaching them the things that I learnt in Bristol, and typewriting as well.

Some pay for their lessons, and some get them for nothing.

Our workrooms are in Great Portland Street, over a picture-cleaner's shop.

One or two girls have evening lessons, but our pupils for the most part are able to come in the day.
