Climbing the Stairs
“The people I worked for had a married daughter with three children living with them, which meant having both a nanny and an under-nurse. We disliked all nannies, nurses and under-nurses because they were neither flesh, fowl, nor good red herrings as you might say. They were not the kind of people you worked for and they were not of the kind of us. They were sort of out in limbo. Perhaps this wasn’t true of the under-nurse. She got the worst of both worlds – not rated by the nanny and we classed... her as if she were, as she had to be with the nanny. Yet even nanny wasn’t one of them because she had to work for her living. I suppose in fact nannies didn’t have much of a life, but we thought they did, and we disliked them intensely in the kitchen because we had to prepare different meals for them.
The nurse would come down and tell the cook what menu she wanted, and cook would be awkward and bloody-minded because as far as the cook was concerned only one person should give orders and that was the madam.MoreLess
