The Cat by Violet Hunt

Up to now I had been kept as much as possible with Beatrice; but when she was better and able to come down, I realised that there were three children in the house -- my old friend Rosamond, of course, and two others, Amerye and Kitty, whom I had hardly seen at all.

Heaps of people kept cropping up. There was Miss Grueber, their governess, and Annie, their schoolroom-maid. After Beatrice had been downstairs and 'on the sofa' a week, her mother-in-law, Tom's mother, a Mrs. Gilmour, came, and I scratched her.
