This romantic orphan took service in the\u003cbr\u003e\"Rudder Grange\" family, and as the story progressed she grew up into a\u003cbr\u003every estimable young woman, and finally married Jonas, the son of a\u003cbr\u003ewell-to-do farmer. Even after she came into possession of a husband and\u003cbr\u003ea daughter Pomona did not lose her affection for her former employers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout a year before the beginning of the travels described in these\u003cbr\u003eletters Jonas's father died and left a comfortable little property,\u003cbr\u003ewhich placed Pomona and her husband in independent circumstances. The\u003cbr\u003eideas and ambitions of this eccentric but sensible young woman\u003cbr\u003eenlarged with her fortune. As her daughter was now going to school,\u003cbr\u003ePomona was seized with the spirit of emulation, and determined as far\u003cbr\u003eas was possible to make the child's education an advantage to herself.\u003cbr\u003eSome of the books used by the little girl at school were carefully and\u003cbr\u003eearnestly studied by her mother, and as Jonas joined with hearty\u003cbr\u003egood-will in the labors and pleasures of this system of domestic study,\u003cbr\u003ethe family standard of education was considerably raised. In the\u003cbr\u003equick-witted and observant Pomona the improvement showed itself\u003cbr\u003eprincipally in her methods of expression, and although she could not be\u003cbr\u003ecalled at the time of these travels an educated woman, she was by no\u003cbr\u003emeans an ignorant one.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47070040752368,"sku":"2940013488656","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013488656_p0.jpg?v=1763581972","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013488656","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
