The Downstairs Maid
“There was just a week to go until Christmas and Mrs Hattersley had been working hard to prepare all the puddings and cakes. Emily was still dividing her time between the kitchen and looking after Miss Amy. Sometimes when she tumbled into bed she was so tired that she was asleep almost as soon as her head touched the pillow. She sighed, sitting down at the kitchen table and easing her feet out of her shoes to rub them against the back of her legs.
‘Is there anything for me?’ ‘I think there’s a c...ard come through the post for you, Emily, and … yes, I think there may be two cards.’ Emily looked through the pile. She found a card from Christopher and one with handwriting she did not recognise. Opening that first, she was surprised to see it was from Mr and Mrs Johnson, Christopher’s parents, to wish her a Happy Christmas. She opened Christopher’s next and saw there was a thin sheet of paper enclosed with a beautiful and very sentimental Christmas card. On the front of the card was a big heart with a panel of pink satin, which was entwined with Christmas roses.MoreLess
