#295 The Woman in White 3 (Penguin Readers)

The Woman in White 3 Ugly Marian is friendly enough to share Hartright's secret of the white woman. Marian searched her late mother's letters to find out who Anne Catherick was. Turned out Anne Catherick was the little girl who was one year older than Laura and was the child of a certain Mrs. Kempe's out-of-town sister. The sister Kempe came to Limmeridge House to ask for Mrs. Fairlie's help for Anne to go to local school. Seems Anne's family was poor enough and Mrs. Fairlie sent her Laura's old white dresses. Anne announced that she will only wear white from that day on. In the letter, Mrs. Fairlie told Mr. Philip Fairlie about the shocking similarities between Laura and Anne. Laura came over from her piano which stopped Marian and Hartright's whispering. Autumn came, Hartright had fallen in love with Laura. Laura also loved him. Days later, Laura started distancing herself from Hartright. Marian disclosed that Philip had arranged Laura's engagement with a baronet from Hampshire. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
