To See a Fine Lady

De: Norah Lofts

Narrado por: Charlotte Strevens

When, at the Pollards Harvest Supper of 1817, Araminta Glover was seduced by Jan Honeywood, the outcome seemed inevitable.

Araminta, like so many servant girls, would marry her poor suitor and prepare to raise a large family on nine shillings a week. But 17-year-old Araminta was determined enough to rebel against the pattern of impoverished rural life, and, putting marriage and Jan firmly behind her, she accepted the post of dairymaid in the house of the strange Mrs Stancy - thrifty, terrifying, and vicious - a woman who was not what she appeared to be.... And here begins a new life for Araminta Glover.
