Young Elizabeth Green By Constance Savery

All books are second hand

Book cover has some wear and tear

'Fifteen, Elizabeth Green!' called the school monitress, and young Elizabeth ran to answer. 'Fifteen' was the number that had been allotted to her when she first arrived at the orphanage, many years before; it was sewn on all her clothes and stamped in all her books. And now she was going to leave it behind her for ever. She was fifteen years old and had been offered her first post as a governess, in charge of Donata Deveril. Young though Elizabeth was, she had a rare gift for dealing with unruly small children; and sad though she was to leave the orphanage, where she had lived a quiet and happy school life, nervous though she was at the thought of her new post, she set out to love and care for her new charge.
