Mistress and Maid: A Household Story (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781515269427)

She was a rather tall, awkward, and strongly-built girl of about fifteen. This was the first impression the "maid" gave to her "mistresses," the Misses Leaf, when she entered their kitchen, accompanied by her mother, a widow and washer-woman, by name Mrs. Hand. I must confess, when they saw the damsel, the ladies felt a certain twinge of doubt as to whether they had not been rash in offering to take her; whether it would not have been wiser to have gone on in their old way-now, alas grown into a very old way, so as almost to make them forget they had ever had any other-and done without a servant still.
