As to the rights of servants in a household, that was something of which they had never dreamed.

Of course, constant rebellion, or the most unwillingly preformed duties, was the undeviating attendant upon their domestic economy.

It was a maxim, with Mrs.Armitage, never to indulge or favor one of her people in the smallest matter.

She had never done so in her life, she said, that she had got any thanks for it.

It always made them presumptuous and dissatisfied.
