The White Lady (2015)
“She showed strong signs of homesickness, and when she received a letter saying that her mother was ill, she came to Constance, declaring that she would have to give up her position and go.
Mrs. Wetherill looked as if the foundations of the earth were being shaken when this announcement was made to her, and Constance was not a little troubled lest all the changes that were coming would be very hard upon her grandmother’s health. But she saw no other way, and she thought she knew her grandmother ...well enough to be sure that the changes would be less hard upon her than the knowledge of the true state of their circumstances.
“Never mind, Grandmother,” said Constance cheerily. “I’ll be your maid. Don’t you think I could, for a little while, at least? I think you might teach me how, and I’m sure it will be much less trouble when we’re traveling to have just us and not always be having to look out for the maid.”
It was a new way of looking at things. Mrs. Wetherill had been used to having all tasks performed for her.MoreLess
