Three years and five months she has been with them, and now leaves in consequence of a fall out with Barbara.
Will you see her ?" "Is she likely to suit?
Is she a good servant ?" "She's not a bad servant, as servants go," responded Miss Carlyle.
"She's steady and respectable; but she has got a tongue as long as from here to Lynneborough." "That won't hurt baby," said Lady Isabel.

"But if she has lived as lady's maid, she probably does not understand the care of infants." "Yes she does.

She was upper servant at Squire Pinner's before going to Mrs.Hare's.

Five years she lived there." "I will see her," said Lady Isabel.
Miss Carlyle left the room to send the servant in, but came back first alone.
"Mind, Lady Isabel, don't you engage her.

If she is likely to suit you, let her come again for the answer, and meanwhile I will go down to Mrs.Hare's and learn the ins and outs of her leaving.
