We lived in an old, fashionable part of the city, in a big house in which the servants outnumbered the family. There were four of us, but the houseman, the cook, the parlour maid, the laundry maid, the chauffeur, and the nurse were the majority and dominated. My poor mother, who had never had a servant in her life before her marriage, did not know how to manage such a household. She was naturally kind and somewhat fearful, and was afraid she would not come up to the standards the servants expected. She did not insist that the servants speak of my sister and myself as Miss Caroline and Mr. David, which was what my father wanted. I suppose there were good servants somewhere but we never found any expect Netty, my nurse.
