ISBN: 1421818221 ISBN-13: 9781421818221 Publisher: 1st World Library - Literary Society OUR PRICE: $16.15 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: May 2006 Annotation: 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. |
