After their extended break, financed by
the famous Jennifer Forbes of course, the household staff had all returned to
maintain the upkeep of Doctor James’s residence, two housemaids and the cook.
Jen was now restricted to the top floor
for the completion of her maid training, the top floor, being isolated and
retained for patients staying at the Doctors residence for specialised
treatments. Off limits for the domestic staff. The room Jen now occupied much
nicer than her previous accommodation. Gone the old clothing and only two high
quality cleaning smocks remained. Jen’s closet now boasting smart, indeed
pretty maid’s dresses, these to be worn for formal events, and smart skirts and
blouses for general wear. Her underwear although plain fitted well. Stockings
and smart low-heeled shoes along with lace trimmed aprons and tiara caps
completed this new maid’s workwear.
Jen deserved her promotion from cleaner to
housemaid, Miss Ruskin had told her she did. and if she worked hard and trained
well, she would soon be working in the household proper. Jen had no thoughts
other than her duties and the new skills she must learn to be a perfect
housemaid. Jen had been given selected illustrated literature to study,
concerning maids work, and from her low base of cleaner, she had admired the
pictures of the smartly dressed maids.
Jen had been looking forward to her first
day wearing her new uniform, but Olga found her sad with evidence of tears
staring into the dressing table mirror.
“What is wrong Jen, tell me.”
