She was clearly a very good mistress to inspire such loyalty.

Sometimes employers were good. My great-great-grandfather John Smoothy, was given a Family Bible the Christmas following his marriage, from his employer Mrs Woodroffe, in 1858.

I also have instances of relatives working together. My great-grandmother Ruth worked in a school with her cousin, who was the school mistress.

Another great-grandmother worked in service with her elder sister. She married John Smoothy's grandson.
