How old is Douglas in turn of the screw?

In: Celebrity Births Deaths and Ages [Edit categories]

Answer:

This is a puzzle. Douglas says that he was 'ten years older' than the Governess. He then says he first met the Governess when he came down from his second summer at Trinity. (p117 Oxford World's Classics edn; approx p3 of the story). On p119, however, he says that the Governess took up service 'in the schoolroom' then applied for the job at Bly when she was twenty. She must therfore have been about 20 or 21 when she started as the Governess there. So had she been working for c.nine years there before she met Douglas? That cannot be because Miles is already at School and we know the events with Miles and Flora happened just after Miles waas expelled. (Clearly, if we had to wait about nine years, Miles and Flora would at the least be post-adolescent and post'School'.) Can someone cleverer than I work out what is going on here?
