Description

This book is a collection of short stories. These stories are unfortunately based on truthful incidents. They have one and all come under the author's ten years of observation, and with the exception of Mr. Bradley's Jewel, concerning whom it is expressly stated that she was employed through lack of other available material, not one of the servants herein made famous or infamous, as the case may be, was employed except upon presentation of references written by responsible persons that could properly have been given only to domestics of the most sterling character. It is this last fact that points the moral of the tales here presented, if it does not adorn them.
