L49-2: The ideal servant

Though my auntpursued what was, in those days, an enlightened policy, in that she neverallowed her domestic staff to work more than eight hours a day, she wasextremely difficult to please. While she always criticized the fickleness ofhuman nature, she carried on an unrelenting search for the ideal servant to theend of her days, even after she had been sadly disillusioned by Bessie.Bessieworked for Aunt Harriet for three years. During that time she so gained myaunt's confidence that she was put in charge of the domestic staff. AuntHarriet could not find words to praise Bessie's industriousness and efficiency.In addition to all her other qualifications, Bessie was an expert cook. Sheacted the role of the perfect servant for three years before Aunt Harrietdiscovered her 'little weakness'. After being absent from the Gables for aweek, my aunt unexpectedly returned one afternoon with a party of guests andinstructed Bessie to prepare dinner.
