It's not all longing looks across the dining room from that high-class
gentleman! Life as a Victorian servant was tough, tough, tough!
Discover the bizarre and oh-so-strict rules one had to keep to when
serving the dignitaries in 'Victorian Servants: A Very Peculiar
History'. Rise up through the ranks from washerwoman to housemaid to
ladies' maid and beyond, but mind you don't keep any 'followers', as
boyfriends are immoral and are strictly not allowed! While you wait on
hand and foot from 5.30 am to 11 pm you won't even have time to rest
your own. The chamber pots are certainly not to be sniffed at, and
remember if the bell rings once, you are wanted. It's hard work but
it's better than the alternative: begging, returning home penniless or
heading to the workhouse. You'll discover stories of suffering and
household tips galore in 'Victorian Servants: A Very Peculiar
History'!
