Governesses Written by Pennie (4/1/2006 4:58 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Large families, penned by MaryAnn K.

How practical would it be for the Morelands to have a Governess? I heard somewhere that a governess would be 50 pounds a year - do we know what Mr Moreland's income is, and if this amount is practical? Did JA herself have a governess or was she homeschooled?
