Her other works include: Home Nook; or, The Crown of Duty (1874), There's No Place Like Home (1875), Hope Mills (1880), Floyd Grandon's Honor (1884), A Little Girl in Old Philadelphia (1890), A Little Girl in Old New York (1896), A Little Girl of Long Ago (1897), A Little Girl in Old Boston (1898), A Little Girl in Old Detroit (1902), A Little Girl in Old Quebec (1906), A Little Girl in Old Salem (1908) and The Girls at Mount Morris (1914).

“You may stay down here until nine o’clock if you like,” said Bridget. “It’s awful cold upstairs. Be sure to wrap yourself good in the old blanket. And put a little coal on the range. If you let my fire go out, I’ll skin you alive.” When Marilla first heard that threat she shuddered all over. If you scratched a little bit of skin off it hurt dreadfully. But Bridget never did it. Sometimes she hit her a slap on the shoulder. She couldn’t even bear to skin a rabbit. “What do you mean by it?” Marilla gained courage to ask once, when she came to feel at home. “Oh, I don’t know. My mother used to say it. Sometimes she took a strap to us, but she wasn’t ever real hard.” Marilla knew about the strap in Bethany Home though she didn’t often get it. “I’ll remember about the fire.” “Good night!” Bridget was off. She always took two or three evenings out in the week and had Sunday afternoon instead of Thursday because they had late dinners during the week. She was very excellent help, so Mrs. Borden let her have her own way. It was nice and warm in the kitchen; clean, too. Bridget couldn’t abide a dirty kitchen. Marilla had wiped the dishes, scoured out the sink and set the chairs straight around.

About the Book The period termed Modern history, is considered the historiographical time frame that follows post-classical history. The Modern history era can be further broken down into periods: 1) The "early modern" period began around the early 16th century, a period that included the Renaissance, the Age of Discovery, and the Protestant Reformation. 2) The "late modern" period began around the mid-18th century; with notable milestones being the American Revolution, the French Revolution, the Industrial Revolution, and the Russian Revolution. Also in this Book History texts study and interpret the past as it may be understood from written documents. The period before written records is called prehistory. Historians use a narrative to examine and analyse past events, and attempt to objectively determine the patterns of cause and effect. Historical studies are not an end in themselves, but also a way of providing perspective on events taking place in the present.
