The Master Of Stonegrave Hall (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
Generally, the reactions came from those neighbours near at hand who could not believe that the illustrious master of Stonegrave Hall had taken Betty Lewis’s daughter under his wing, and her just a slip of a girl. It was indecent, some said, a young girl alone in the house with a relative stranger—and she only a schoolmaster’s daughter. True, Mr Lewis had been a well-respected man, but that didn’t elevate him any higher than that in their eyes. Particularly was it being asked how a chit like that was going to make anything of herself, not being of the master’s class. And that same question was quietly asked in the house itself as soon as she moved out of her room in the servants’ quarters to a more desirable one in the main part of the house. In keeping with her elevated position, she was appointed a young maid called Sally. Since they all held Lord Rockford in high esteem and valued their jobs—and because neither Jenkins nor Mrs Hughs would speak against her—as long as she remembered her place and didn’t start giving orders, then they would keep their opinions among themselves below stairs.
