It’s nice to see that these two women are taking on the challenge of being forced to earn their living so positively. In our real world, women from formerly wealthy or noble families were actually devastated when being forced to earn their own livelyhood around 1850 when there was an exuberance of governesses and they were treated poorly.
There’s a drop of bitterness when seeing that specific sort of cane/switch there, which was unfortunately also used to hit students back then 🙁 And reading that Miss Pendleton taught Miss Hyde “strictly” doesn’t help…
P.S.: while typing, the typewriter platen should move to the left and right, different from the unchanging image in these panels. In school we used similar mechanic ones for training for a while. It requires quite some strength to hit the keys hard enough 😉
