![]() ![]() When her seamstress mother takes her out of school to work alongside her, Ruth rejoices at the chance of exercising her only talent: sewing. Sent to a good school, Ruth is constantly bullied by haughty girls for being poor – a certain Rosalind Oldacre kicks her so hard that she breaks Ruth’s corset. She was raised in poverty by a once-wealthy mother who married for love and a portrait painter father with no career prospects.
