From The Publisher:
At a railway station, an arrogant and overbearing woman (Mrs. Quabarl) mistakes the mischievous Lady Carlotta (who has been inadvertently left behind by Carlotta's train) for the governess Miss Hope she expected (Miss Hope having erred in her date of arrival).
Lady Carlotta, deciding not to correct the mistake, acknowledges herself as Miss Hope, a proponent of "the Schartz-Metterklume method" of making children understand history by acting it out themselves, and chooses the Rape of the Sabine Women (exemplified by a washerwoman's two girls) as the first lesson.
