Isn’t Lizzie too young to be left alone with no adult home? In today’s world, God forbid something happened, the parents would be in deep trouble. That said, my mother worked and my brother and I were left alone after school until she came home from work (we were 6 and 7)….so for about 3 hours. Key was hidden outside; we let ourselves in. But we DID have disasters that included death of a pet and once a doctor visit for stitches…. This was early 1960s.
