Having stated this apparently trivial circumstance, the head servant was surprised by the effect which it produced on the housekeeper. She leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes, with an appearance of unutterable enjoyment. That night there was one supremely happy woman in London. And her name was Miss Notman.
"Fancies about me, Mr. Romayne?" Before he could answer, the dinner bell rang. Lord and Lady Loring entered the library together. Having additionally conciliated him by means of a glass of rare liqueur, Miss Notman, still feeling her grievance as acutely as ever, ventured to inquire, in the first place, if the gentlefolks upstairs had enjoyed their dinner.
WHEN Miss Notman assumed the post of housekeeper in Lady Loring's service, she was accurately described as "a competent and respectable person"; and was praised, with perfect truth, for her incorruptible devotion to the interests of her employers.
"Ah, indeed?" "And the other is dead." "Sad for the father and mother, Miss Notman!" "Pardon me, sad for the mother, no doubt. The father died long since." "Aye? aye? A sweet woman, the mother? At least, I think I have heard so." Miss Notman shook her head. Mrs. Eyrecourt is essentially a frivolous person."
Miss Notman, the housekeeper, politely threatening retirement on a small annuity, since the memorable affair of the oyster-omelet, decided on carrying out her design when she heard that there was to be no supper. "My attachment to the family can bear a great deal," she said.
