When is hetty feather set

Throughout alk of this, Jem stayed loyal to Hetty ans repeatedly tried to kiss her; however she realised that she wouldn't make Jem happy, and left him to marry her friend Janet Maple. Martha is the eldest of the fostered children, and is taken away back to the Foundling Hospital when she turns five. Initially, Hetty does not connect Martha's fate with her own future, until Saul is taken too; although she dislikes Saul, she cries when Peg takes the sobbing Saul away.

Missing her foster siblings, she demands to hear the truth. When Peg tells the other children about the Hospital, Jem promises Hetty that he will marry her once she is released around the age of fourteen and says he will meet her at the Foundling Hospital, sadly when Hetty walks out she does not notice him and leaves him there standing all alone. As Hetty gets older, a circus moves into town. There is a parade through the streets, and Hetty loves it; especially Madame Adeline, a redheaded lady dressed in scanty clothing who rides a horse.

Hetty and Jem sneak to the circus, telling Gideon they are going into the woods to a tree Gideon fears, as he cannot be trusted with secrets. They creep in through the side of the circus tent and watch the show together. Towards the end, Madame Adeline performs and asks for a volunteer to come up and help her, and Hetty screams to be picked.

She is, and performs on Madame Adeline's horse with her. The crowd cheer and clap as Hetty returns to her seat, excited that she had met Madame Adeline and that Madame Adeline had called her 'My little Star'.

Upon leaving the circus, Hetty is convinced that Madame Adeline is her mother, and wants to go back and meet her again, but Jem persuades her not to. When they arrive home, they find that Gideon has gone missing; after hours of searching, Gideon is found by the tree that Hetty had claimed that they were going to, unconscious. He recovers but is greatly weakened and no longer speaks. Hetty feels horrendously guilty. Poor Gideon! As the book goes on, Hetty is returned to the foundling hospital along with Gideon, but they are both shocked and scared when they are separated.

Hetty is reunited with Nurse Winterson Winnie who looked after her when she was a baby, and Martha, who unfortunately barely remembers her foster family and has friends of her own. Later on that day, Hetty meets a friendly new kitchen maid, Ida, and they become friends. Hetty gets in several scraps with the other girls in her dormitory, as well as Matron 'Pigface' Peters, but after Ida lent her a book and Hetty read the story aloud to her foundling sisters, they found a new respect for her.

Hetty then narrates how lonely it is at the hospital, until she finds her friend Polly Renfrew. Polly Allen Sheila as Sheila. Gus Barry Mathias as Mathias. Redmand Rance Vince as Vince.
