Telling Nussey that she has decided not to be a governess for the Halliley family and is "again adrift"; counseling Nussey to be mindful of her health in looking for work as a governess because she "could never live in an unruly, violent family of modern children"; noting that her family is "singularly deficient" in "the chief requisite" for being a governess: "taking things easily as they come" and "making oneself comfortable ... wherever one may chance to be"; commenting on Mary Taylor's illness and describing the death of a Mr. Price.
