by EMMA SMITH abridged by MOLLIE REYNOLDS Read by C#cile Chevreau

Emma who was bossy, and Charity who was nothing in particular but probably the most agreeable of the three. Our kitbags were stuffed with clean shirts, our hearts were fixed on the peculiar glory of becoming accomplished canal boaters.
