"Take this service away and send the chambermaid to me," she said to him when he came.
And a few minutes after he had cleared the table and left the room the chambermaid, accompanied by old Katie, entered.
"Is there a dressing room connected with this chamber?" Lady Vincent inquired.
"Law, no, mum! there isn't sich a place in the house," said the chambermaid.
"This is intolerable! You may go; my own servants will wait on me."
The girl went out.
"Unpack my traveling bag and lay out my things, Katie," said Lady
Vincent, when she was left alone with her nurse.
But the old woman raised her hands, and rolled up her eyes, exclaiming:
"Well, Miss Claudia, child!—I mean my ladyship, ma'am!—if this is Ingland, I never want to see it again the longest day as ever I live!"
"Liverpool is not England, Katie."
