Read one of the first pages - 'The Mistress', then look at what the cook and other staff had to do - it amazed me!

I did take a look at that chapter after you pointed it out - WOW! I also looked at the 'special' recipes for them - yuck!

Love this I have a few newspapers from 1800's with index like this and the graphics are very cool. If I had a newspaper size scanner I'd share.

Yes, I would've loved to have taken a peek at them! I love delving into the past

What a wealth of information. this will keep me busy reading for a long time. Thanks!
comment by troutbend on Aug 15, 2010 12:34 PM ()
I have managed to read a few of the chapters but haven't had much time lately. What I have read, staggers me - the days work of 'The Downstairs' staff - especially when compared to 'The Upstairs' gentry . . . well!
