"It is a boy, sir the brother, I believe of the girl who has come as under-housemaid, who has been making a disturbance." "Desire him to leave the house instantly." "Yes, sir," replied the butler, who went down to enforce the order. Little did the master of the house imagine that in giving that order he was turning out of the house his own son; for the squire was no other than Mr Austin.
"At ten years old, and in my own house! That flaunting hussy Jane, the under-housemaid " "Jane! No, sir. Pamela, Miss Byron, Clarissa, females in Richardson, who, according to Dr. Johnson, 'taught the passions to move at the command of virtue. I trust for your sake that Dr. Johnson did not err in that assertion, for I found all these females at night in your own private apartments."
The study, usually cold and deserted since the master had gone away, was bright with a large fire. Rose did not know that it was an expression of sympathy from the under-housemaid, whose lover was at the war. But when she stood opposite the big photograph of the fine manly face and figure, and the large open eyes looked so straight into hers, she shrank a little.
The under-housemaid, whose name happened to be Gladys Higgs, was reduced to tears by this remark, and the tears brought the kind-hearted Pat to repentance for his hastiness.
Very good post-boys they were, too, till Hughie took to drinking and wenching and cards and other devil's tricks. Dan'l was always a steady sort: walked with a nice young woman that was under-housemaid up to the old Lord Bellarmine's at Castle Cannick, and was saving up to be married, when Hughie robbed the mail.

Her master had received it from her at the open door. She could look in, and could see that he was alone in her mistress's room. The nurse, Christina Ormsay, being recalled, repeated what Mrs.
It was with no surprise at all that I heard that the master was missing. In the very first of the morning, it seemed, or ever the earliest under-housemaid had begun to set man-traps on the stairs and along the passages, he must have quietly left the house.
Nevertheless, before he left he had managed to get from the young man the whole story of his engagement to the under-housemaid, giving him thereupon some bits of advice, jocular but trenchant, which James accepted with a readiness quite unlike his normal behavior in the circles of his class. Ashe took his seat, dined, and saw the Prime Minister.
"I am in great trouble," she had written. "It is connected with Kitty Malone. I see my way to helping Kitty if you, Gwin, can help me. But I must see you now at once. Let me come to your bedroom. I would not disturb you if it were not a matter of life or death." This note, sufficiently startling in its contents, was given by the under-housemaid to Gwin's own special maid.
