" Mrs. Teachwell was adopted as an alter ego by Ellenor Fenn, without acknowledging that school-marms possible relationship to Mrs. Teachum in Sarah Fieldings Governess. She also retained that ladys sober policy in matters of education, and she continued to address herself primarily to young ladies rather than young gentlemen (the Blind-man s-buff of The Ladies School looks to have been far too boisterous for the innocent amusement of girls at The Grove )" (Alderson & Oyens 368).); Photo eChristies Images; English, out of copyright
