Groovey. One more rung up and i'm a secretary -now you're talking!! I get 2 servants + become a local councillor, but one of my babies dies. 2nd from the top, I live alone and have a private income. Under living conditions, its come up verbatim with: You employ two servants who live in your house but are unimpressed with the quality of their work. How DO they come up with this stuff. And lastly, for the top step of social status- available to someone with my father's job- I am the wife of a landowner -Hello Mr Darcy!!!- At 18, I come out as a debutante and am presented to the King -who if i'm not mistaken, was at the time HM "Dirty Berty". We have friends over for weekend house parties ooOH that 'ud be nice -Canasta anyone? Or maybe we'll forget about cards this evening...- Only 10 servants though, which seems a little miserly for the size of house (with all that privacy) described. Marital Relations: I suspect he's not always as devoted to me as I am to him. Well! We'll soon see about that!!

I ended up in a workhouse with a baby to take care of! I think the lesson we're intended to take away from this is to be grateful we're not alive in 1905. Good thing my grandpa was too young to go to war or I probably wouldn't be here! Yeah, don’t complain! I ended up in a workhouse with a baby to take care of!

So, mostly the same life I'm living in present day minus the sewing, flower arranging, and living with a fellow spinster friend. A question though, doesn't living with a spinster friend sort of negate *living alone*? I want to know where I can collect my two worthless servants though. Even shoddy work is better than me having to do the cleaning myself! Apparently I live alone, never marry, and have a private income.

Here's a highlight though: "You're often ticked off for insubordination - the senior servants think you're cocky." Ah well, at least I live longer than Abel! Unfortunately I live my life out in a workhouse, with no hope of getting married, because I got knocked up at the by a footman at the country house where I was employed as a servant. This is entertaining though. Hell I’m a servant! Here’s a highlight though:
