Mr. St. John, when he grew up, would go to college and be a parson; and the girls, as soon as they left school, would seek places as governesses: for they had told her their father had some years ago lost a great deal of money by a man he had trusted turning bankrupt; and as he was now not rich enough to give them fortunes, they must provide for themselves.
El señorito John, al salir del colegio, se ordenó de sacerdote, y las muchachas, al dejar la escuela, se colocaron como institutrices, porque su padre había perdido, años atrás, mucho dinero en una quiebra y ellas tenían que ganarse la vida. Les gustaba mucho aquel sitio, y aunque solían vivir en Londres y otras grandes ciudades, afirmaban que ninguna les complacía tanto como Moor House.
