Marry in Haste
“Chloe seemed neither to notice nor to mind the dirt, but Camilla was Frenchwoman enough to be appalled by the condition in which she found their house, and spent the first few weeks of her stay battling—in sign language—with her Portuguese servants in an effort to have it made habitable. They thought her quite mad, but luckily, liked her, and liked blond Chloe, with her smattering of Portuguese, still more. If the crazy Inglesas wanted their floors scrubbed to a fantastic standard of cleanlines...s, they should have them. Only in the servants’ quarters did Camilla have to give up the struggle. There, by an honourable compromise, chaos still reigned, with pigs and poultry happily sharing the apartments with the staff.
