In order that servants may be treated with respect and courtesy, it is not necessary, as in simpler patriarchal days, that they sit at the family-table. Your carpenter or plumber does not feel hurt that you do not ask him to dine with you, nor your milliner and mantua-maker that you do not exchange ceremonious calls and invite them to your parties.
Dorcas bit her lip, as she hastily did the duty, and postponed the pleasure. The laboring-season is nearly over, the eight hired men reduced to two, and the family-table is spread in the kitchen.

I remembered Port, Sherry, and Claret in my palmy dinner-days at the doctor's family-table; but certainly not Old Madeira.
