The Housemaid's Scandalous Secret - Plot & Excerpts
She saw it from a distance sitting like a grand old lady surrounded by beautiful parkland, timeless, gracious and brooding, its elegant beauty expressing power and pride. When the carriage drew to a halt in front of the house, scarlet and gold-liveried footmen appeared and descended to strip them of the mountain of baggage. Lisette stepped into the bustling, alien environment that was to be her world from now on, acutely aware of the rich trappings of the interior. The house was awe inspiring, the atmosphere of comfort and luxury, of elegance and a style of living she could never have imagined. The butler, Lumsden, stood aside as they entered, keeping a keen eye on the footmen to remind them of their duties as their eyes kept straying with frank approval to the young maid who stood beside Miss Araminta. Unaware of their admiring looks, with her eyes opened wide with wonder and awe, Lisette followed her mistress along an assortment of corridors to the west block, where Araminta and other family members had their rooms.
