24. 0-2 The ruined maiden You wasted the time you should have been using to find a suitable husband by flirting with men. You could be seen at parties batting your eyelashes at many fellows. Be careful! This seemingly innocent flirting could result into something worse so that you may never be seen as fit for a respectable marriage.
25. 3-5 The governess Maybe you’re not very handsome, maybe you just like helping others. Congratulations on your smarts and compassion. However, that won’t get you very far in the world. You may be able to make some money to send your family or even buy a new dress. But what’s the point in flashy clothing when you’re just going to watch the children all day.
26. 6-9 The wife Congratulations! You’ve made it to the top. Well technically speaking, your husband probably has but you’ve done well marrying a rich man. Look he’s so rich you can commission a painting of yourself! Good job going to all the balls, knowing the right people and conducting yourself in a respectable manner. Now go have fun and make lots of kids-hopefully a son so there is an heir to your husband’s estate.
