 A short while later, Blanche was about 15 and had decided to leave home and go to work.  The reason was probably because her sister Cecile had already left and gotten married, and there was a new baby in the house.  In addition, it was the depression, and she wanted to strike out on her own, and relieve the family of the responsibility of having to feed her.  It also satisfied her sense of adventure.  She moved to Boston, and got a job as a housekeeper and nanny for a Jewish family, and worked there for a while. However, she left when the husband made a pass at her. With her references, she was able to get another job as a housekeeper and nanny also in the Boston area.  She was earning good money in those days, and would sometimes take the train home, and bring presents for Norman and Bobby, who were small.
