Sara and Albert

Sara was a peculiar character, more than just an orphaned outsider, I felt at times that she perhaps had some element of witchcraft about her.

Was it just coincidence that she ended up at a girl's school in such close proximity to her orphaned brother? Albert's dream the night she killed herself mentioned her coming to him to bid farewell.

Why did Sara have a guardian paying, initially, her fees but not to send her brother to a boy's school?

That was indeed a rather peculiar coincidence that Albert and Sara ended up, unknowingly, in fairly close proximity. I think Albert mentions that at the orphanage where they were originally placed, the boys and girls were kept segregated, and that he had eventually heard through the grapevine that an older man had "taken a fancy" to Sara and gotten himself appointed as her guardian.
