Book Description
Excerpt from A Charming Fellow, Vol. 3 of 3 This girl ministered to her master and mistress during dinner, pouring water and wine, changing knives and plates, handing vegetables, and not nu frequently dropping a spoon or a sprinkling of hot gravy into the laps of her employers. She had succeeded to Slater, who resigned her post after a trial of some six weeks' duration. Castalia, in despair at this desertion, had written to Lady Seely to send her a maid from London forthwith. But to this application she received a reply to the efiect that my lady could not undertake to find any one who would suit her niece, and that her ladyship thought Castalia had much better make up her mind to do without a regular lady's-maid, and take some humbler attendant, who would make herself generally useful. I always knew Slater wouldn't stay with you, wrote Lady Seely and you won't get any woman of that kind to stay. You can't afford to keep one. Your uncle is fairly well but poor Fido gives me a great deal of unhappiness. He eats nothing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
