Excerpt from A Professional Rider
The Misses Walker kept a seminary for young ladies, situated in the High Street of the little market town of F oxington. The Sisters had started originally in a very modest way, but thanks to the excellent care they took of their pupils, combined with their own attainments and ladylike manners, the school flourished to such an extent that by degrees it became patronized by families of good standing and position in the County. Orphan girls were sent to the Misses Walker, since these excellent ladies bore a high character for the sound training given to those entrusted to their Charge. The girls varied in age from eleven to eighteen.
