The good aunt : including the story of Signior Aldersonini and his son

Two girls, aged fourteen and fifteen, who had been reared by an incompetent governess, are redeemed by their good aunt who set about correcting their attitudes and habits. Sensational stories of Jane whose family were burned alive before their eyes, of Mrs. Ormond whose fury against a black servant caused her child's death and her own insanity, and the story of the condemned son of Signior Alersonini play their part in the reformation of the wayward nieces.
