It all promises very nicely, I think.\u003cbr\u003eYou may depend upon our taking good care of Ruth, and doing our best to\u003cbr\u003etrain her well. Naylor takes great pride in her training. You will tell\u003cbr\u003eRuth what I say, and impress upon her those two or three broad rules,\u003cbr\u003eand if she attends to those, it will be all right.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMrs. Perry courtesied--her best courtesy, you may be sure; for it was not\u003cbr\u003eevery day she was honoured with an interview by so grand a personage as\u003cbr\u003eold Lady Melicent Bourne of the Tower House, at Hopley. She had known\u003cbr\u003eLady Melicent all her life, for before she married, Mrs. Perry's own home\u003cbr\u003ehad been at Hopley; but I hardly think this in any way lessened her awe\u003cbr\u003eof the great old lady--rather the opposite. And there had been no small\u003cbr\u003eexcitement in the neat cottage beside the forge at Wharton, five miles\u003cbr\u003efrom Hopley, when the postman brought a letter from my lady's own maid,\u003cbr\u003eown cousin to Mrs. Perry, the blacksmith's wife, to say that the place of\u003cbr\u003eunder-housemaid was vacant at last, and Ruth was to be sent over to be\u003cbr\u003eseen by Lady Melicent herself. Ruth went, and was approved of, and came\u003cbr\u003ehome with a message desiring her mother to go in her turn to the Tower\u003cbr\u003eHouse for a talk with her daughter's future mistress. For Lady Melicent\u003cbr\u003ewas old-fashioned enough to take personal interest in her servants; even\u003cbr\u003ethe younger ones were safe to be 'known all about' by her.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47069752819952,"sku":"2940013081185","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013081185_p0.jpg?v=1763576544","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013081185","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
