| Summary |
"The Girl's Own Paper, Vol. VIII, No. 358, November 6, 1886" by Various is a periodical publication written in the late 19th century. It consists of a collection of articles and stories aimed primarily at a young female audience, touching on topics of interest to women of the time, including fashion, domesticity, and fairy tales. One of the featured stories, "Merle's Crusade" by Rosa Nouchette Carey, centers on Merle, a young woman who has just begun her new job as a nurse for a wealthy family, and her experiences with the children under her care. The opening of the publication introduces readers to Merle as she arrives at her new employment. The narrative describes her arrival, the warm reception by the household staff, and her immediate engagement with the children, particularly a fretful infant named Reginald. Through her introspective observations and interactions with the other characters, readers gain insight into Merle's thoughts on her responsibilities and aspirations in her newfound position. The tone and detail set will likely appeal to readers who enjoy character-driven stories that explore themes of duty, care, and the dynamics of domestic life in a bygone era.
