It was so exciting landing at Montreal! It is huge and so busy I don’t think I will ever get used to it. Our chaperone told us there are about half a million people living here. Most of the English-speaking people live in what is called the “square mile”, on the south part of the large mountain that everyone can see from our dormitory. It is called Mount Royal. There are also many French-speaking people living in Montreal, but everyone seems to speak English.
Our chaperone is beginning to give out assignments, the English girls first, of course. Most of them will be staying in Montreal with the wealthy English-speaking people around Mount Royal. They will be meeting their new employers this afternoon. It will be our turn, that is, we Scots, to be assigned tomorrow. We will have to leave each other, perhaps to never meet again. I will miss my new friends very much. I doubt any of us will sleep well tonight!
