Summary: "The Undesirable Governess" by F. Marion Crawford is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Lady Jane and her family, who are in search of a governess for their two adventurous daughters, Gwendolen and Evelyn. The introduction sets the stage for the family's dynamics and the impending arrival of a governess whose lack of conventional appeal is humorously highlighted, piquing the reader's curiosity about how her character will impact the Follitt household. At the start of the narrative, Lady Jane Follitt and her husband Colonel Follitt engage in a banter about the urgent need for a governess to corral their mischievous daughters. We learn through witty exchanges that their previous governess left under suspicious circumstances, leading to Lady Jane's candid advertisement for a new one, seeking someone decidedly unattractive. The unexpected arrival of Ellen Scott, the new governess, sets off a series of humorous and poignant events that reveal her hidden depths and the family's evolving perceptions. The opening chapters cleverly explore themes of beauty, appearance, and societal expectations through intelligent dialogue and character interactions, establishing a lighthearted yet engaging tone that invites readers to discover how the relationships will unfold in this whimsical tale.
