This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1878 edition. Excerpt: ...in calculations--Bribery on the part of trades-people--From whose pocket the bribe is taken--Course to be adopted when bribes are offered--Have no dealings with those who offer bribes--Consideration to be shown to tradespeople, and how--Hardships suffered by dressmakers, etc.--Pressure unadvisable even for mourning--Timely notice saves hurry and pressure--Gossip about the family to be avoided--Gossip about those in a higher position than ourselves too general in England--Gossip generally originates with servants. N the course of your service, you will have a good deal to do with your lady's tradespeople. At first, you will be employed to convey orders to them, which will be good practice in the art of carrying messages. You will also have some easy shopping to do; to match ribbons, and buy sewing-silks, tapes, linings for gowns, and such things, in which it is not easy to make mistakes. Begin carefully and well, that you may become qualified for the more important shopping that will be a part of your duty hereafter. Have a neat bonnet and shawl or cloak ready to be put on quickly when you are sent out. Make sure what sort of things you are to get, --whether the sewing-silk is to be coarse or fine; what breadth the tape is to be; how much a yard you may give for the ribbon; and so on. If your employer should think you rather particular about your orders, she will soon find that this is better than bringing home articles which cannot be used. If you are troubled with a bad memory, you will make a list of what you have to buy, and carry a pencil, that you may set down at the moment what you pay for each, if they are trifles too small to be put into a bill. The most satisfactory way, however, is to have a bill made out to bring home with you....

'I was able to get on well with everyone below stairs and above, or so I thought until I began working for Lady Astor...' In 1929, Yorkshire lass Rosina Harrison became personal maid to Lady Astor: the first female Member of Parliament to take her seat and wife of one of England's wealthiest lords. Lady Astor was brilliant yet tempestuous, but outspoken Rose gave as good as she got. For 35 years the battle of wills and wits raged between the two women, until an unlikely friendship began to emerge. The Lady's Maid is a captivating insight into the great wealth 'upstairs' but also the endless work 'downstairs', but it is Rose's unique relationship with Lady Astor that makes this book a truly enticing read. Please note, The Lady's Maid is the new title for the book originally published as Rose.

“Fascinating . . . The reader is treated to a revealing account of the passionate romance between Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning through the eyes of an intimate observer.”—Booklist Young and timid but full of sturdy good sense and awakening sophistication, Lily Wilson arrives in London in 1844, becoming a lady’s maid to the fragile, housebound Elizabeth Barrett. Lily is quickly drawn to her mistress’ s gaiety and sharp intelligence, the power of her poetry, and her deep emotional need. It is a strange intimacy that will last sixteen years. It is Lily who smuggles Miss Barrett out of the gloomy Wimpole Street house, witnesses her secret wedding to Robert Browning in an empty church, and flees with them to threadbare lodgings and the heat, light, and colors of Italy. As housekeeper, nursemaid, companion, and confidante, Lily is with Elizabeth in every crisis–birth, bereavement, travel, literary triumph. As her devotion turns almost to obsession, Lily forgets her own fleeting loneliness. But when Lily’s own affairs take a dramatic turn, she comes to expect the loyalty from Elizabeth that she herself has always given. Praise for Lady's Maid “[A] wonderful novel . . . fully imagined and persuasive fiction.”—The New York Times Book Review “Absorbing . . . heartbreaking . . . grips the reader's imagination on every page . . . [Margaret] Forster paints a vivid picture of class, station, hypocrisy and survival in Victorian society.”—San Francisco Chronicle “Extremely readable . . . The author's sense of the nineteenth century seems innate.”—The New Yorker “Highly recommended . . . an engrossing novel of the colorful Browning ménage.”—Library Journal “Delightful . . . entertaining.”—Vogue
