I have threatened many times to leave, and last evening we came to another outbreak, and I left this morning." "Left entirely ?" "Yes, my lady.

Miss Barbara provoked me so, that I said last night I would leave as soon as breakfast was over.

And I did so.

I should be very glad to take your situation, my lady, if you would please to try me." "You have been the upper maid at Mrs.Hare's ?" "Oh, yes, my lady." "Then possibly this situation might not suit you so well as you imagine.
Joyce is the upper servant here, and you would, in a manner, be under her.

I have great confidence in Joyce; and in case of my illness or absence, Joyce would superintend the nursery." "I should not mind that," was the applicant's answer.
