Which Reminds Me

Whence comes this nonsense about myself being assigned to be the "The Governess" of the children? There was some talk about my being the oldest girl on the field making me responsible for all the nefarious activities of the little brats. But that was mostly a fiction. In this modern age we have no need for governesses nor can our families afford such a thing. Besides, down there they had hired help, maids to spoon the food into the mouth of the littlest Bueno brats, so there was nothing that I needed to do about that. I considered myself unfortunate to be stuck in this limited social sphere with almost only those little brats for company. There was just no one to talk to.
