It was like a sudden shock of cold water down the back. I never discovered the origin of his family; it was a matter of which he did not speak, perhaps because he was vague about it himself; but if an earl of Norman blood had married a handsome Cockney kitchenmaid of native ability, I can quite imagine that Samuel Savage might have been a child of the union.
The kitchenmaid, stirred from her private grief by the news, left her potatoes and came to the kitchen. She and Molly clung to each other. "It's the Sinn Feiners," she said, "and they're out for blood." "Where's the police?" said Molly. "What good is the police that they wouldn't be here and us being murdered?" "It's blood they want," said the kitchenmaid, "and if s blood they'll have."
O'Halloran looked the girl over critically. "I don't know," she said, "that I ever seen a girl that would look worse in a pink blouse than yourself. The face that's on you is the colour of a dish of mashed turnips, and the pink blouse will make it worse, if worse can be." The kitchenmaid was a girl of some spirit She felt inclined to cry, but she pulled herself together and snorted instead.
Apparently I seduced the housemaid or kitchenmaid my father's establishment seems to consist of Nannie who is housekeeper and cook, and a maid who does housework and helps in the kitchen and this unfortunate girl who fell a prey to my solicitations or more likely misled me afterwards gave birth to a child attributed either to my fatherhood or the gardener's.
There was an unusual sense of luxury in being able to talk to an aunt as though one was talking to the Evil One, but Nicholas knew, with childish discernment, that such luxuries were not to be over-indulged in. He walked noisily away, and it was a kitchenmaid, in search of parsley, who eventually rescued the aunt from the rain-water tank. Tea that evening was partaken of in a fearsome silence.
When the kitchenmaid went back to her plates to the great relief of her mistress, who would have sternly condemned her tripping if thoughts of business had not beset her practical mind two young men stood up and danced another bourrée. With the exception of the scullion and household drudge there was no chance of getting a female partner.
