The Benefactress - Chapter 8

from The Von Arnim Library · host Elizabeth von Arnim

In which a young woman, clad in simple white and possessed of quiet grace, seeks practical assistance from a sentimental but well-meaning pastor to find shelter for twelve ladies fallen on hard times, navigating the peculiarities of local society and its curious preconceptions. Their discourse ranges from enthusiastic plans and cautious advertisements to unexpected outbreaks of vehement prejudice, all set against the humdrum backdrop of social formalities and domestic detail.
