Interesting hooks about an interesting woman, few but good sources. Please give us a bit more detail about her education, otherwise she plays the piano out of the blue ;) - Please specify Church of England , seems not trivial for the general readership. Please specify if the millinery business was run by him (otherwise - this being her article - I would assume by her). - Needless to say, playing the piano myself, I am most interested in ALT1 which also provides historic background. Can we we deduct from "the second in Red River"[1] "the province's second"? [2] has "in the settlement". - If you want to pursue the rumour thing, perhaps say that she successfully appealed? - ALT2 means nothing to people who don't know Riel. The original is quirky but no more, - my POV. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:57, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

• All the source says about her education is that it was a good one, which isn't too informative.
• Done
• As the article says, she started the business, but he later ruined it.
• "Second in Red River" can be assumed to be "second in Manitoba", but for clarity I have amended the hook.
• Would rather not say that as it is unlikely that she did so
• Original arose from User_talk:The_Interior#Hooks, which supports the quirkier hook - that's why it's the main one here. Nikkimaria (talk) 14:49, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

ALT1 preferred by me, but original fine if we need a quirky one --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:25, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
