There was once upon a time a child who had Good Luck for his godfather. “I am not Fortune”, said Good Luck to the parents; “I have no gifts to bestow, but whenever he needs help I will be at hand”. “Nothing could be better”, said the old couple. They were delighted. But what pleases the father often fails to satisfy the son: moreover, every man thinks that he deserves just a little more than he has got, and does not reckon it to the purpose if his father had less. Many a one would be thankful to have as good reasons for contentment as he who had Good Luck for his godfather.

The children were educated mainly by her mother, but Julie was often the driving force behind their various activities: drama, botany etc. Later she was responsible for setting up a village library in Ecclesfield and helped out in the parish with her three sisters. Early stories of hers appeared in Charlotte Yonge's magazine Monthly Packet.
