The Prisoner
The Prisoner
“Haydon gained an appreciation for the seemingly endless tasks that had previously been the exclusive domain of his servants.
Jack plotted ways to escape his chores.
When Genevieve had been forced to fend for herself and a newborn infant at the tender age of eighteen, she had been handicapped by her lack of knowledge about even the most basic of household tasks. There had always been a cook, a housemaid, a butler, a valet, and a gardener to tend to every detail of running her father’s home, enab...ling Genevieve to pursue her studies and her interest in painting. But after her father’s death and Charles’s subsequent rejection of her, she had been left entirely without an income, which meant that she could no longer afford the luxury of employing servants.
It was then that she realized how very limited her education had been.
She could well remember those exhausting early days as she struggled to look after little Jamie by herself. The kitchen was shrouded in a perpetual smoky haze, a combination of her inability to make a decent fire and the charred remains of all the food that she had put on the stove or griddle and subsequently abandoned as she ran to soothe Jamie’s cries.MoreLess
