Where Two Ways Met (2014)
“She found her aunt very comfortable, with a fine nurse, two maids in the kitchen, and her uncle hovering here and there trying his best to carry out the orders of his wife.
She went up to her room, and while she was removing her hat and coat, she looked around the immaculate room, telling herself indignantly that there hadn’t been any reason at all for sending for her. She understood all too well that she was supposed to be a kind of an overboss to see that the other servants did their work pro...perly. She had all-too-definite memories of the last time she had spent a week in this house and how she was cross-examined every hour or two to find out if she had nagged every servant about the corners being dusted and a thousand other little things that were not really so important when the lady of the house was laid aside.
