Manville (George Manville) The New Mistress: A Tale Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England "The New Mistress: A Tale" by George Manville Fenn is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story follows Hazel Thorne, a young woman who has become the mistress of a girls' school in a small, modest town after her family's fortunes decline following a tragedy. As she navigates her new role and the dynamics of her workplace and community, Hazel deals with the challenges of poverty and the pride of her mother while also confronting lingering ties to her past. The opening of the book introduces readers to Hazel and her mother, Mrs. Thorne, as they adjust to life in a small, cramped cottage after falling from a more dignified status. The narrative establishes Hazel's sense of duty and commitment to her role as a schoolmistress, despite her mother’s persistent desire to maintain their former social standing. As Hazel makes her way to the school for her first day of teaching, she is met with a mix of anxious anticipation and the weight of her family's expectations. Notably, the dynamics with the other teachers and local community members begin to unfold, providing a glimpse of the complex social interactions she will face in her new life.
