I’m reading through the posts, but: can you remember if I ever gave Evangaline a profession?
Also: What era do you think of Evangaline living in & how old do you think she is?

I don’t remember Evangeline’s profession … hrm, there might have been something about people disapproving of her continuing to work after becoming the Aunt, maybe? I would have to dig. I think of Evangeline as in her late twenties or thirties, but “young for an Aunt” could be fifties. She might’ve had an actual age in the stories with Robbie — again, I’d have to look. Young enough that he thinks he might maybe have a chance with her. 🙂 I think of that set of stories, with the changing gender norms and how the kids talk about dating and shared custody and stuff, as now-ish in the US.
I found the disapproving part. I’m thinking she’s a librarian or researcher or… but I don’t think I ever set it. Thanks!!
Robbie thinks she’s ~22, but Eva doesn’t say whether he’s right.
You’re my hero! Thanks!
