Terry the Girl-Guide

Heartwarming stuff. Very much of its day, reflecting an era where working class people were seen as either horrible or almost slaves; you could become a Guide by reading a book pretty much and orphans got adopted just like that. I found nostalgia for the days of 'Empire' but also disappointment because Empire was never the wonderful one-sided bliss that it's made out to be. Anyway, sweet characters, funny bits, and scary stuff that is always ok in the end.
