Three women were got to help; and such scrubbing, such brushing, such washing of paint and beating of carpets, such taking down and putting up of pictures, such polishing of mirrors and lustres, such lighting of fires in bedrooms, such airing of sheets and feather-beds on hearths, I never beheld, either before or since.
Tre nuove donne di servizio giunsero per aiutare le altre; tutto fu strofinato, spazzolato, battuto, lustrato.
