Not even after dancing until dawn at some society function had her feet hurt so brutally. “Susie! Please, if you have a heart, bring me a cup of tea and a tub of water for my feet.” Susie, who had been a scullery maid before filling in as an emergency lady’s maid, had been only too happy to leave Summerset and Lady Charlotte behind to become Victoria and Eleanor’s housekeeper, where she dined alongside the girls, slept in a warm, clean bed, and enjoyed an entire day off once a week. Even though London still frightened her, her daily life had improved and she considered Victoria a saint. “You shouldn’t have stayed so late, miss,” Susie called from the kitchen. Victoria could hear the running of water and knew she would soon have her aching feet soaking in a steaming tub of water sprinkled with lavender and bath salts. “I stayed as long as I had to,” she called back, peeling off her uniform cape and entering her spacious sitting room. She and Eleanor had been living in the flat for several weeks, and a transformation had already taken place.
