Jack The Ripper Victims Series: The Double Event - Plot & Excerpts
The lady of the house, Fru Ellstromsdotter, received Elizabeth in a business-like manner, and guided her through the home, explaining what would be expected of her. Thin and pale, the woman had sharp facial features and a mouth that opened crookedly when she spoke. Her dark hair was pulled back tightly and secured at the back of her head with decorative pins. Elizabeth was shown the room she would share with the nursemaid. The cozy chamber had two beds that looked warm and comfortable. “As a maid of all work,” Fru Ellstromsdotter said, “you must cook all the meals, serve at mealtimes, change the bed linens, clean the house, haul water and slops, and share in the laundry duties.” Elizabeth expected the hard work, and felt up to it. She might have wished for an employer with a friendlier personality, however. Fru Ellstromsdotter had not offered a single smile or pleasant sentiment during the tour of the house.
