The book hetty feather
Hetty was abandoned at the Foundling Hospital as a newborn baby. Children abandoned at the Hospital are fostered
until the age of six, at that exact age they have to be returned to the
hospital to start their education. Hetty spends her early years as a
foster child under the care of Peg and John who she knows as her mother
and her father. She is largely unaware that she will one day have to
leave them. There are several other foster children in her home as well
as Peg and John's own children. Jem, Nat, Rosie and Eliza are the pair's
own children; whereas Martha, Saul and Gideon are foundlings. There are
also Bess and Nora, who are away in service, and Marcus, who is a
soldier. Hetty especially likes Jem, who is five years older than she
is, and who treats her very kindly. Hetty is a fiesty, redheaded child
who often gets into trouble but who is generally kind-hearted and loved
by the family.
The book sapphire batterseea
After finding out that Ida, the kitchen maid of the Foundling Hospital
is her mother, Hetty regularly sneaks into her room at night to bond
with her. Hetty dreams of being a successful author, writing stories
under her true name, Sapphire Battersea. However, one night, Hetty is
followed by another girl, Sheila Mayhew, who often bullies her and
Matron "Pigface" Peters. Hetty and Ida's relationship is found out and
as a result, Ida is fired and is sent away to Bignor-on-Sea (named after
Bignor but based on Bognor Regis and Middleton-on-Sea)
as a housekeeper to an elderly woman by Miss Sarah Smith, a member of
the Board of Governors and a friend of Hetty's. When the time comes for
Hetty to be discharged from the Hospital, Miss Smith arranges for Hetty
to be sent to Mr. Charles Buchanan, a fellow writer, as a scullery maid
in the country side of Kingtown. As Hetty is picked up by Mr.
Buchanan's cook, Mrs. Briskett, a young man calls out to her and
unsuccessfully tries to chase down the cab she was in. This young man is
later to be revealed as Hetty's former foster brother, Jem.
After spending most of her childhood cooped up in the Foundling Hosptial, Hetty is often confused, scared and in awe by the outside world. As she settles into her job, Hetty becomes a secretary of sorts to Mr. Buchanan, copying his stories as Mr. Buchanan's handwriting is hard too read and, in return, Mr. Buchanan will help refine Hetty's memoir and supply Hetty with stamps so she can continue to write to her mother. She also finds a potential love interest in Bertie, the local butcher's boy, who takes her out to the fair, on a boatride, and a walk in the park. Among all of this Hetty accompanies the parlourmaid, Sarah, to a seance with Madame Berenice, a medium. During the seance, an apparition of Hetty's long dead foster brother, Saul, appears before Hetty, frightening her. Hetty's new life is soon shattered when she accuses Mr. Buchanan of plagiarising her work when she finds a poorly written manuscript of her memoir in his office under the name Emerald Greenwich. Hetty is immediately fired. Before she leaves, Sarah gives Hetty her suitcase and Mrs. Briskett gives her a jar full of money as well as some food to take with her. Hetty goes to see Bertie for the last time before setting off to Bignor to be with her mother.
On the train to Bignor, Hetty makes friends with the kindly Greenwood family. Hetty reunites with her mother but is shocked to see how sickly she has gotten. She calls for a doctor who diagnoses Ida with phthisis. When to doctor breaks the news to, Miss Roberts, the woman Ida was caring for she fires Ida on the spot and refuses to hire Hetty, for fear that both Ida and Hetty will infect her. Ida is admitted to an infirmary while Hetty stays with the Greenwood family for two weeks and almost becomes a part of the family, though she continues to visit Ida. After the Greenwood family leave Bignor, Hetty gets a job at Mr. Clarendon's Seaside Curiosities as "Emerald the Amazing Pocket-Sized Mermaid", making a tail out of a green dress, a bodice of pink gauze and a scallop shell bra. While working here, Hetty makes friends with Freda a female "giant". Ida succumbs to her illness and eventually dies in Hetty's arms. With Freda's help, Hetty holds a funeral for Ida.
Hetty returns to Kingtown and goes to see Madame Berenice for a seance, in the hopes of contacting her now deceased mother.During the seance, Hetty finds out that Madame Berenice and her sister/accomplice are frauds, but decides not to expose them as it provides hope, however fake it may be, for Madame Berenice's other clients. Sarah, who was at the seance, takes Hetty back to Mr. Buchanan's house for slice of rabbit pie. In the kitchen, Hetty meets Mr. Buchanan's new servant girl, Rose-May, who reveals that Bertie is now taken with her. Upon hearing this, Hetty runs to the outhouse and vomits. While lamenting the fact that she's truly an orphan now, she hears Ida's voice informing her that she isn't an orphan- her father is still alive. The book ends with Hetty declaring that she is Sapphire Battersea and her intent to seek out her father
