This novella by the acclaimed Elizabeth Gaskell follows the reminiscences and life of aristocratic Lady Ludlow, told through the eyes of one of her charges, the young Margaret Dawson. Lady Ludlow epitomizes the unwillingness of the old English gentry to accept the progression of social reform and technology, such as education for the poor and religious leniency. She reminisces about her friends in the French revolution and tries to protect and guide the numerous young ladies she has taken under her care. [Summary by Rosie]

《聖經和合本》（Chinese Union Version，簡稱和合本；今指國語和合本（Kuoyü Union Version），舊稱官話和合本（Mandarin Union Version）），是今日華語基督新教教會最普遍使用的《聖經》譯本，問世一百年以來，一直是華人教會的權威譯本，是眾多信徒心愛的聖經。此譯本的出版源自1890年在上海舉行的傳教士大會，會中各差會派代表成立了三個委員會，各自負責翻譯官話（白話文）、淺文理（淺文言）、深文理（文言文）譯本。1904年，《淺文理和合譯本》（Easy Wenli Union Version）出版《新約》。1906年，《深文理和合譯本》（High Wenli Union Version）亦出版《新約》。1907年，傳教士大會計劃只譯一部文理譯本，於1919年出版《文理和合譯本》（Wenli Union Version）。1906年，官話的翻譯工作完成了《新約》；1919年，官話《舊約》的翻譯工作完成。在1919年正式出版時，官話《聖經》譯本名為《官話和合譯本》，從此就成了現今大多數華語教會採用的和合本《聖經》。
