First Job
Oct 25, 2016
I feel like pointing out that before it was outlawed in 1842, girls (and women) were just as likely to work underground in Britain as boys and men. They generally paid less, too.
Fortunately for the girls in this family, Tom is the eldest and with their mother gone they are probably going to be tasked with keeping house in her place. So looks like they escape the pit, for now.
