Program Description

Sarah, a new under-house parlormaid with only vague, unverifiable French references, arrives at I65 Eaton Place. Lady Marjorie is intrigued; the downstairs are skeptical, and--less than pleased with her pretensions, her distaste for hard work and discipline--they are happy for the chance to bully her into confessing her Else colors.
