Emily or mandy

Mandy :"what are we supposed to do"

Robert :"first, what do you know about the 18th century?"

Mandy :"umm..."

Robert :"There were two very different lifestyles in 18th-century England: that of the rich and that of the poor. The rich were getting richer and the poor, poorer.The population was growing wildly. Cities were dirty, noisy, and overcrowded. The rich, only a tiny minority of the population, lived luxuriously in lavish, elegant mansions and country houses, which they furnished with comfortable, upholstered furniture. Their calendars included dinner parties, opera, and the theater.Schools were not compulsory, but many upper-class boys attended school, and some girls from well-off families did, too. Girls were educated more in “accomplishments” like embroidery and music than in academic subjects.Poor people ate rather plain and monotonous diets made up primarily of bread and potatoes; meat was an uncommon luxury. Poor craftsmen and laborers lived in just two or three rooms, and the poorest families lived in just one room with very simple and plain furniture. It was a difficult life for poor people: There was no government assistance for the unemployed, and many had trouble finding their next meal or a warm place to sleep. For every 1,000 children born in early-18th-century London, almost 500 died before they were 2, generally due to malnutrition, bad water, dirty food, and the poor hygiene. Orphans roamed the streets; because they didn’t attend school, they had little chance of improving their situation."

Mandy :" i feel sorry for the poor families and the orphan children i am from a rich family so i never thought about 'em."

Robert : ...

Suddenly, a little girl wearing a gorgeous gold dress got off a luxury chariot driven by four horses. She was looking just like mandy in every detail especially her pink fair hair. She said :"Sis Emily, i finally found ya. Where have you been ? Brother Light was all the time searching for ya.

Then a man with cold looks got off the chariot. It was the same from some hours ago, the one who said he's her cousin.

Mandy :" you..."

Little girl :" Emily let's go home with brother

Light. It's for you own good. "

Light hold her in his arms and entere the chariot.

Robert :" stop! where are you taking her?"

Light ignored him and gone

A few time later when Robert was walking in the streets he saw a girl looking just like mandy

Robert :" Mandy is that ya what are ya doing here"

The girl: "who are ya and who is that Mandy?"

Robert : Are you... Emily ?
