The Garths

Grayscale illustration of a woman in a cap and apron rolling pastry at a kitchen table. A girl in a pinafore and a boy in braces stand at the end of the table with books and a slate.

Mrs Garth teaches her children at the kitchen table while she works. This is Eliot’s representation of a household where learning and labor are not separated. (Chapter 24)
