She had not requested Mrs.Baxendale to make inquiries for her, and her friend, thinking she understood the reason, did not volunteer assistance, nor did she hear any particulars of the correspondence that went on.

Ultimately, Emily communicated with her acquaintances in Liverpool, who were at once anxious to serve her.
She told them that she would by preference find a place in a school.

And at length they drew her attention to an advertisement which seemed promising; it was for a teacher in a girls' school near Liverpool.

For a day or two she had not seen Mrs.Baxendale, and, on the afternoon before the day of her leaving Banbrigg, she went to take leave of her friends.
