On her way back to the drawing-room she was addressed by a chambermaid in the corridor who asked for her key. 'I will put your room tidy for the night, Miss, the woman said, 'and I will then bring the key back to you in the drawing-room. While the chambermaid was at her work, a solitary lady, loitering about the corridor of the second storey, was watching her over the bannisters.
The chief gainer by the arrangement was the chambermaid. Odd as it may seem, the Misses Merrill lived amicably enough with Cynthia.

Napoleon wanted to go off alone, but she wept so much, besought him so earnestly, that he took pity on her and gave her leave to enter his carriage; she had but a single chambermaid with her. Her household was to join her some days later. Napoleon and Josephine left Saint Cloud in the night of September 24, 1806. After stopping for some hours at Metz, they reached Mayence the 28th.
I then asked the chambermaid to raise the dress again, which was done, and Irish left the room disgusted, and muttering a few oaths to himself. Afterwards he paid the cigars for the crowd. He then asked if I wud explain what the divil right any chambermaid had to wear pants, anyhow.

The confidential chambermaid of the princess came forward to meet them, and nodded to them silently to follow her; they passed through several rooms; at last she paused, and said, earnestly: "This is the boudoir of the princess; enter you are expected." With a hasty movement, Trenck opened the door this door which separated him from his first love, his only hope of happiness.
At last, when the good husband was on the point of perishing with cold, the lights were put out. The maid cried softly in the curtains to the king's sweetheart, that his lordship was there, and jumped into bed, while her mistress went out as if she had been the chambermaid.
"There!" she says, pointing to the box on which the sacks and antimacassars and cushions lie piled. "That!" he cries. "How am I going to sleep in that?"
