She has perfect confidence in Miss T.; it is only a pity she has such an odd name.

Mamma thought of asking her if she would mind taking another when she came; but papa thought she might object.

Lady Battledown makes all her governesses take the same name; she gives 5 pounds more a year for the purpose.

I forget what it is she calls them; I think it's Johnson (which to me always suggests a lady's maid).

Governesses shouldn't have too pretty a name; they shouldn't have a nicer name than the family.
I suppose you heard from the Desmonds that I did not go back to England with them.
