Alec finally arrives, he puts his foot down with the aunts that Rose is to be raised his way for a year without their interference. One, something of a hypochondriac herself, has Rose almost convinced she has “no constitution.” The aunts embody the truism of too many cooks spoiling the stew, with their different and sometimes opposite views on how she should be raised.
She’s sent to live with several aunts (their house is known as the “Aunt Hill”) until her appointed guardian, her father’s single brother, comes home from sea. Her mother had died when Rose was young, but her father just recently passed.
Eight Cousins by Louisa May Alcott was published in 1875.
