Description

Anne Bronte, an English novelist, published her first book, Agnes Grey, in 1847. (writing under the pen name of ""Acton Bell""). Agnes Grey is upset that she is treated like a kid by everyone.

She finally secures a position with the Bloomfield family as a governess.

Agnes had no idea that the Bloomfields would be as wealthy and vicious as they are.

The eldest Bloomfield child, Tom, is very cruel and has even tortured small animals. Agnes starts by going to see Nancy Brown, a frail elderly woman who needs assistance reading the Bible.

When she first meets Mr. Edward Weston, the new curate, he chooses some wild primroses for her.

Agnes receives a note from Mary, who is now wed to Mr. Richardson, the clergyman of a parish close to their house.

Mary is Agnes' sister. Mary begs Agnes to come and informs her that their father is dying.

When Agnes finally arrives, her father is already dead.

She departs from Ashby Park and goes back home. She meets Mr. Weston a few months after she first comes; he had been seeking her ever since he moved to the neighborhood parsonage.

They had three kids together after he makes the marriage proposal.
