Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Whispering Windows: Tales of the Waterside
Without any clear motive, he gave her shelter. Then he dismissed the 'old woman who played at attending him and robbed him of food and money, and installed Hetty in her place, and married her. The contract was plainly set forth she entered his establishment as indoor servant, with duties, personal cash allowance, household allowance, and reason able freedom of movement. Her position only differed from that of the ordinary domestic help by her being joined in holy matrimony to her employer: a rite upon which he had insisted so that she should be his fixed property.
