Norval – Independence

The sisters are growing up – their time in Norval is coming to an end. Louise is off to Toronto where she will work for the Bell Telephone Company. She will also be living where her Aunt Nete works – at Willard Hall.

Ina has made a bold move all the way across the road to gain some independence. She lives with the Smellie family and her friend Jane. Ina achieves Norval notoriety as the stern, no nonsense strict disciplinarian Cubmaster.
