The following day, I
was about to open my first shift when Miss Davis, my supervisor, in the present day
approached me.

“Lady,”
she mentioned, “I acquire to yell to you.”

“Clearly,
Miss Davis,” I responded.

“I seen
your uniform is a small bit dirty,” she mentioned. “I suspect or no longer it’s time you
changed it.”

“Sure, Miss

“I’ve actual
put apart out a clear uniform for you in the laundry room. You are going to be in a location to head there, iron the
recent uniform, exchange and leave the dirty uniform in a basket. Then, whereas you
acquire time after your final shift, I want you to realize relieve to the laundry room
and clear your dirty uniform.”
 

I went to the
laundry room and positioned a recent recent uniform striking on the wall. I ironed it and
put apart it on, taking care to shine my sneakers and positioned on a recent apron. I then left my
used uniform in a basket and returned to Miss Davis.

“I’ve
carried out changing, Miss Davis,” I mentioned.
 

“Correct
girl,” Miss Davis responded. “Now, I’d like you to open in Room 7 and
clear it thoroughly. Now we acquire a VIP visitor arriving later this day, and I wish to
be obvious that the room is good. And fabricate no longer forget to leave a welcome basket with
fruit and snacks in the room.”

“Clearly,
Miss Davis,” I responded. “I may procure lawful on it.”

I went to room 7
and began cleansing. I dusted the furnishings, vacuumed the carpet and made the
mattress. Then I cleaned the lavatory, scrubbed the bathtub and loo. I also changed
the sheets and towels. After I’d carried out, I turned around to envision the room. It
was spotless. I then positioned a welcome basket of fruit and snacks on mattress the
room. I even added recent vegetation in a vase. Miss Davis got here to envision the room
and, except for just a few stains of dust I hadn’t seen in the lavatory, she
did now not criticize my work. She even nodded approvingly when she seen the vegetation.

“Correct,”
mentioned Mrs. Davis. “Now you may per chance also scamper clear the a variety of rooms.
 

Later, whereas
cleansing room 11, I discovered a pair of handcuffs on the mattress. I used to be bowled over. I’d
by no formula considered handcuffs in a hotel room. I did now not know what to kind. I made up my tips to
take the handcuffs to my supervisor, Miss Davis.

“Miss Davis,”
I mentioned. “I discovered something original in room 11.”

“What’s it,
girl?” requested Miss Davis.

“It be a pair
of handcuffs,” I mentioned.

Miss Davis looked
bowled over. “Handcuffs?” she requested. “The attach did you sight
them?”

“On the
mattress,” I mentioned.

“I see,”
mentioned Miss Davis. “I fabricate no longer know what to kind with them both. I may acquire to
put apart a question to Linda.”

Miss Davis took
the handcuffs and went to yell to Linda i.e. Mrs. Roberts, the manageress. Mrs.
Roberts instructed Miss Davis she’d address the handcuffs. She instructed us to forget
about it. I used to be relieved. I used to be satisfied I did now not acquire to effort about that any
extra.
 

Later after
starting my afternoon shift, I had actual cleaned yet every other room after I heard my
supervisor, Miss Davis, all every other time.

“Lady”,
Miss Davis mentioned. “arrive here for a minute.”

“Clearly,
Miss Davis”, I responded.
 

” You are
going to address Mrs Sullivan, the VIP visitor of room 7,” Miss Davis
says. “So I wish to be obvious that address VIP company.

“Sure, Miss

“VIP company

particular requests or needs. It be critical to be extra attentive and
accommodating when dealing with them.

“I

“Listed below are a
few issues to preserve in tips when dealing with VIP company,” says Miss Davis.
“First, continuously be polite and official. VIP company are extinct to
receiving the finest service, so that you may per chance also silent be obvious that you meet their
expectations.”

“Secondly, be

“By some means,
take pride for your work. VIP company are in most cases impressed by the extent of service

“Understood,

“I may kind my

“You’d
better, girl,” mentioned Miss Davis, “Mrs. Sullivan will possible be arriving in a
fast time, so scamper preserve up for her in the foyer. Then elevate her bags up to Room
7.”

“I’m on my
procedure, Miss Davis,” I responded.
 

I went into the
foyer and waited for the VIP visitor, Mrs. Sullivan. A fast time later, Mrs.
Sullivan arrived. I took her bags up to room 7 and fix it beside the mattress.
 

“Is there
the relaxation else I’m in a position to kind for you, Madam?” I requested.

“Sure,
please,” mentioned Mrs. Sullivan, “I’d like you to unpack my bags. And
you may per chance also call me Mrs. Sullivan.”

“Clearly,
Mrs. Sullivan,” I responded.

“I want you
to position my clothes and sneakers in the closet and my toiletries in the
lavatory,” mentioned Mrs. Sullivan, “and I want you to be obvious that
all the pieces is completely organized.”
 

I started unpacking
Mrs. Sullivan’s bags. I took care to position all the pieces away exactly as Mrs.
Sullivan had requested me to. She saved a terminate thought on me, ensuring I did
all the pieces accurately.

“Construct no longer you
dare wrinkle my clothes,” she growled at one level.

“I’m sorry,
Mrs. Sullivan. I may be extra careful,” I responded, my throat tight.

Later, she mentioned to
me, “Are you carried out?”.

“Sure, Mrs.
Sullivan,” I responded.

“That is great.
Now I want you to procure me a cup of espresso,” she requested.

“Sure, Mrs.
Sullivan,” I responded.

I left the room to
acquire Mrs. Sullivan a cup of espresso. After I returned, she was already
complaining: “This espresso is simply too feeble. I want you to design me
yet every other”.

“I’m sorry,
Madam,” I mentioned, “I may design you a recent one lawful away.”

I went relieve to the
kitchen to design yet every other cup of espresso. After I returned, Mrs Sullivan was silent
no longer elated: “This espresso is silent too feeble. I want you to design me a
stronger one.”

“I’m sorry,
Madame,” I mentioned, “I may kind my finest.”

Then I went relieve
to the kitchen to prepare a cup of stronger espresso. Mrs. Sullivan did now not
complain this time. I used to be relieved that she was at final delighted, however I seen
that I needed to be very careful no longer to design any mistakes in the course of Mrs. Sullivan’s
preserve.

Mrs. Sullivan
paused for a moment, then requested, “What’s your title?”

“Melissa,
Mrs. Sullivan,” I responded, hoping she did now not intend to use my title to file
a complaint.

But no, Mrs.
Sullivan reached into her purse, pulled out a banknote and handed it to me.

“Here,
Melissa. That is for you,” she mentioned.

“Thank you,
Mrs. Sullivan,” I responded.

“Now, if
you are going to excuse me, I acquire to relaxation,” she mentioned.

I left the room
and closed the door. I stood there for a moment, keeping the money in my hand.
I wasn’t sure what to think. It was glaring that Mrs. Sullivan was a rich and
essential girl, extinct to being served hand and foot, and that she expected me to
kind no subject she mentioned with out quiz. I did now not indubitably treasure being treated treasure
a servant, however on the similar time, I used to be satisfied Mrs. Sullivan had tipped me.

By the stay of my
afternoon shift, I used to be drained, however I remembered Miss Davis’ instructions and
went to the laundry room to wash my assorted uniform. I figured that, to lead clear of
Miss Davis complaining about my uniform all every other time, I’d potentially acquire to interchange it
each day. And that meant washing one in every of my uniforms each day.
 

I used to be exhausted.
I’d worked arduous all day, cleansing rooms and helping company. I could now not wait to
procure some relaxation. Once my assorted uniform was clear, I let it to dry and walked down
the corridor to my room, drained however elated. I’d finished a decent job and was pleased with
myself.

I opened the door
to my room and walked in. I kicked off my sneakers and collapsed on the mattress. I
closed my eyes and breathed deeply. I’m in a position to also already feel the pressure starting
to melt away. I used to be at final going to be in a location to relaxation. I laid there for just a few
minutes, actual playing the feeling of stillness.

, the
phone rang. I groaned and rolled over, making an try to ignore it. However the phone saved
ringing. By some means, I gave up and answered the phone. “Hello?” mentioned I,
my reveal groggy.

“Melissa,”
mentioned Mrs. Roberts, the manageress, on the a variety of stay of the line. “I’d like
you to head to room 7. Mrs. Sullivan, our VIP visitor, has expressly requested
you.”

I hesitated. I
did now not wish to procure up however, on the similar time, I knew I used to be presupposed to be very
attentive and accommodating to a VIP visitor treasure Mrs. Sullivan.

“Sure, Mrs.
Roberts,” I responded. “I may be lawful there.

I went to room 7
and knocked on the door.

“Mrs.
Sullivan,” I mentioned, “this is Melissa, the maid.”

“Reach
in,” Mrs. Sullivan responded.

I opened the door
and entered the room. Mrs. Sullivan was sitting on the mattress, wearing a
bathrobe and slippers.

“I’d like you
to iron my blue costume,” mentioned Mrs. Sullivan. “I scamper to dinner at a
good restaurant tonight and I wish to be obvious that or no longer it’s ideal.

“Clearly,
Mrs. Sullivan. I may take excellent care of it.

I took the costume
and went to the laundry room. I ironed it in moderation, ensuring no longer to wrinkle
it. After I used to be finished, I took the costume relieve to Mrs. Sullivan’s room.

“Here you
are, Mrs. Sullivan,” I mentioned. “Your costume is all ironed.

“Thank you,
Melissa,” Mrs. Sullivan responded. “My costume appears to be like good.”

“You are
welcome, Mrs. Sullivan,” I mentioned, “I’m satisfied you treasure it.”

“I’m,”
added Mrs. Sullivan. “And I critical to give you a small bit something for your
effort.”

She handed me a
banknote.

“Thank you,
Mrs. Sullivan,” I mentioned. “I’m satisfied I’m in a position to also support.”
 

Then I left and
went relieve to my room. My husband, who had actual returned from a day’s traipse in
the wooded space, was working on a drawing on his laptop. I entered the room, silent
wearing my uniform. I used to be exhausted, however as I felt I’d unnoticed my husband
since I’d taken this job, I made up my tips to play with him a small bit.
 

“Correct
night, Sir,” I mentioned in a playful, sultry reveal. “Is there the relaxation
this maid can kind for you?”

My husband looked
up from his laptop and smiled. “Sure, my dear,” he mentioned. “You
scrutinize aesthetic in that uniform. I’d similar to you to pose for me.”

I blushed.
“Clearly, Sir,” I responded.
 

I struck a pose
with my hands on my hips. My husband took just a few pictures, then requested me to interchange
poses. I moved across the room, placing assorted poses. He photographed me
from every angle.
 

After a whereas, I
began to feel a small bit embarrassed. “Am I doing this lawful?” I
requested.

“You are doing
good,” my husband responded. “Correct silent down and be pleased your self.
 

I took a deep
breath and tried to silent down. I began to be pleased myself and pose extra naturally.
My husband took extra pictures, and he seemed an increasing vogue of enraged.
 

After a whereas, he
mentioned, “That is ample for now. I suspect I’ve taken some good photos.”

I smiled.
“I’m satisfied,” I mentioned. “I had a host of fun, however I acquire to relaxation
now.”

He put apart down his
camera and stood up. He walked over to me and hugged me. “Clearly, my
dear,” he mentioned. “I do know you may per chance even acquire got worked very arduous. But you are also an
fabulous model. I may use the photos as a reference to procure drawings of you on
my computer.”
 

I went into the
lavatory to wash my face and undress. Then I got here relieve and bought into mattress.
I
closed my eyes and fell asleep practically straight.

 

Allotment 6. Serving
Mrs. Sullivan

 

“Melissa,”
Mrs. Roberts, the manageress, mentioned to me after I arrived in the foyer the next
morning, “earlier than you open your morning shift, I’d like you to elevate
breakfast to Mrs. Sullivan, our VIP visitor, in room 7. She expects breakfast to
be introduced to her room by 8 o’clock.”

“Sure, Mrs.
Roberts,” I responded. “I may see that it arrives on time.

“Thank you,
Melissa,” mentioned Mrs. Roberts. “But fabricate no longer forget that Mrs. Sullivan is
a VIP visitor who need to be elated. I fabricate no longer wish to hear any complaints from
her.”

I went to the
kitchen and picked up a breakfast tray. I put apart it on a cart and carried it to
room 7.
 

I knocked on the
door and waited. “Reach in,” Mrs. Sullivan’s reveal responded.

I opened the door
and entered the room. Mrs. Sullivan was sitting up in mattress, reading a newspaper.

“Correct
morning, Mrs. Sullivan,” I mentioned. “I’ve introduced you your
breakfast.”

“About
time,” she mentioned. “I have been expecting you.”

“I’m sorry,
Mrs. Sullivan,” I mentioned, “however your breakfast is here now.”

I wheeled in the
cart with the tray of meals. There was a plate of eggs, bacon, toast, a pot of
espresso, and a glass of orange juice.

“Is that
all?” Mrs. Sullivan requested. “I ordered a croissant.”

“I’m sorry,
Mrs. Sullivan” I mentioned. “I may scamper procure it lawful away.”
 

I went relieve to the
kitchen, picked up a croissant and took it relieve to Mrs. Sullivan’s room.

“Here you
are, Mrs. Sullivan,” I mentioned. “Is there the relaxation else I’m in a position to kind for
you, Mrs. Sullivan?”

I turned to leave.
“Wait,” mentioned Mrs. Sullivan. “The bacon is simply too crispy. I treasure it
soft.”

“I’m
sorry,” I mentioned. “I may procure you yet every other one.”
 

I went to the
kitchen all every other time and grabbed yet every other half of bacon. I took it relieve to Mrs.
Sullivan and changed the crispy half.

“Is it
better?” I requested.

“Sure,”
mentioned Mrs. Sullivan, handing me a itsy-bitsy tip. “That will kind. Now leave me
alone so I’m in a position to use in peace.”

I backed out of
the room and closed the door. I sighed. Mrs. Sullivan was the most nerve-racking
visitor in the hotel. But I knew I needed to wait and see and polite, although she was
sophisticated.
 

Then I started my
morning shift, cleansing the rooms and bathrooms on my pointers. At one level,
I returned to room 7, Mrs. Sullivan’s room. This time, I needed to clear it. I
mentioned “Maid service” and knocked on the door, hoping Mrs. Sullivan
wouldn’t be there.

Mrs. Sullivan’s
reveal answered, “Reach in.” No longer her all every other time, I believed.

I entered the room
pushing my cleansing cart.

“You are
Melissa, aren’t you?” requested Mrs. Sullivan.

“Sure, Mrs.
Sullivan,” I responded.

“Effectively, curtsy
to me, Melissa,” demanded Mrs. Sullivan.

I used to be bowled over.
“I’m sorry, Mrs. Sullivan,” I mentioned. “I’ve by no formula been requested to
curtsy to a visitor.”

“Effectively, you would
better open doing it,” Mrs. Sullivan insisted. “I’m a high-ranking
visitor and I put apart a question to the maids to treat me with the honor due my rotten.”

I used to be beginning to
feel miserable. I did now not wish to curtsy to Mrs. Sullivan, however I did now not opt
to design her offended both. “I’m sorry, Mrs. Sullivan,” I mentioned,
“I’m no longer happy curtsying to you.”

“Effectively, you
need to be,” mentioned Mrs. Sullivan. “I’m your superior.”

“I fabricate no longer
think that is lawful, Mrs. Sullivan,” I defined. “I’m no longer your
servant. I’m actual here to clear your room.”

“I fabricate no longer care
what you watched,” Mrs Sullivan mentioned. “I’m the visitor and I put apart a question to to
be treated with recognize.”

I remained silent.
I seen Mrs. Sullivan wasn’t going to present up.

“Effectively?”
requested Mrs. Sullivan, “Are you going to curtsy to me or no longer?”

I took a deep
breath. I knew Mrs. Sullivan was a VIP visitor and that I needed to be very
accommodating to her. I also did now not opt her to complain to the manageress. So
I gave in.

“Sure, Mrs.
Sullivan,” I mentioned.

With a sense of
shame, I curtsied. To kind so, I lowered my chin whereas affirming thought contact
with Mrs. Sullivan, held the skirt of my costume between my index fingers and
thumbs, positioned my lawful foot in the relieve of and to the left of my left foot, slowly
bent my knees and lowered myself.

Mrs. Sullivan
smiled in pride. “That is critical better, Melissa,” she mentioned.
“From now on, I put apart a question to you to curtsy every time we meet and every time I
push apart you or give you an expose. Understood, Melissa?”

“I… Sure,
Mrs. Sullivan,” I responded with yet every other curtsy. I did now not treasure it, however what
else can also I kind? Mrs. Sullivan was a VIP visitor and Mrs. Roberts did now not wish to
hear any complaints from her.

“Now procure on
along with your work,” mentioned Mrs. Sullivan.

I made a third
curtsy and fix about cleansing the room. I felt humiliated, however I needed to obey.
Mrs Sullivan was a VIP visitor and I used to be actual a maid.

After I used to be ready,
I requested, “Is there the relaxation else I’m in a position to kind for you, Mrs. Sullivan?”

“No, that is
all,” Mrs. Sullivan instructed me, handing me a tip. “Now, be for your
procedure.”

“Thank you,
Mrs. Sullivan,” I mentioned with a curtsy. Accepting the tip made me feel treasure
I’d sold my dignity, however I did now not dare return the money.

I turned and left
the room, feeling humiliated and degraded. As I walked away, tears welled up in
my eyes. I could now not judge how Mrs. Sullivan had treated me. I felt treasure
nugatory trash. I went relieve to work, however I could now not pause desirous about what
had took place. I did now not know the procedure I used to be going to face Mrs. Sullivan the next time
I seen her.
 

Later, in the course of my
afternoon shift, I used to be cleansing yet every other room in the hotel. , Miss
Davis, my supervisor, walked in.

“Lady,”
she mentioned, “I’d like you to procure Mrs. Sullivan in room 7 some espresso lawful
away.”

Oh no, I believed,
no longer Mrs. Sullivan all every other time.

“But I
have not carried out cleansing this room yet,” I responded.

“I
know,” she mentioned, “however Mrs. Sullivan is expecting espresso and he or she’s
getting impatient.

“All lawful,
Miss Davis,” I responded. “I may be lawful there.”
 

I put apart down my
cleansing tools and walked out of the room. I went to the kitchen and made a
pot of espresso. Remembering the procedure in which it went the day earlier than, I made the espresso very
solid. Then I put apart it on a tray with a cup and saucer, cream and sugar. I then
walked to room 7 and knocked on the door.

“Reach
in,” Mrs. Sullivan’s stern reveal responded.

I opened the door
and entered the room. Mrs. Sullivan checked out me sternly. I knew she expected
me to curtsy, however it indubitably wouldn’t be web or excellent to kind it whereas carrying a
tray. I’m in a position to also with out complications be knocked over and the espresso spilled. So I attach the tray
on the table beside the mattress, then turned to Mrs. Sullivan and curtsied.
“Your espresso, Mrs. Sullivan,” I mentioned.

Mrs. Sullivan
puckered her lips staunch into a smirk and tasted her espresso.

“Sturdy as I
treasure it,” she mentioned, handing me a banknote. “You are going to be in a location to head now.”

“Thank you,
Mrs. Sullivan,” I responded with yet every other curtsy.

I left, ashamed
that I hadn’t dared face up to her. But on the least she did now not complain this
time.
 

I had a busy day.
Besides to cleansing the rooms and serving Mrs Sullivan, I also needed to clear
the hotel’s predominant staircase and traipse errands for a whole lot of assorted company. So it was
with reduction that I carried out my afternoon shift. After washing my old
uniform in the laundry, I returned to my room to relaxation. My husband had left a
expose explaining that he had rented a bike and wouldn’t be relieve except late
night. I used to be asleep when he returned so I did now not see him except the next
morning.
 

The following day, I
had actual changed into my uniform and was heading for the kitchen when,
in the present day, I seen yet every other maid wearing a uniform equal to mine.

“Hi, I’m
Susan,” she mentioned. “It is predominant to be Melissa, my replacement. I’m relieve
after recuperating from my lumbago. I may be doing all of the maid work to any extent additional,
however Charlotte wants to yell to you first.” I remembered that Charlotte was
Miss Davis’ first title, so I went to see her in her place of job.
 

“Reach in,
please, Melissa,” mentioned Miss Davis. It was the predominant time I’d ever heard
her call me by my first title as yet every other of “girl”.

“Before all the pieces I
idea you were a detestable metropolis girl,” Miss Davis instructed me, “however I used to be
outrageous. You are going to be inexperienced, however you be taught like a flash, take excellent care of your
uniform and kind as you are instructed with out complaint. I’m also impressed by how properly
you procure along with Mrs Sullivan, our most sophisticated VIP visitor. No longer finest has she
no longer complained about you, she has even praised your work. No mean feat. I may
be obvious that Linda affords you a decent letter of recommendation.”

Linda, I
remembered, was the predominant title of the manageress.

“Now that
Susan’s relieve,” added Miss Davis, “you may per chance also scamper relieve to being a visitor.
Your final activity will possible be to take your uniform to the laundry room. As a bonus,
you may per chance also preserve the sneakers we bought for you for your first day.”

“Thank you,
Miss Davis,” I mentioned.

“But earlier than
you are taking off your uniform,” she requested, “can also I put apart a question to you to search recommendation from Mrs.
Sullivan one final time in Room 7.”

“Attain I actually
acquire to?” I wondered.

“No,”
mentioned Miss Davis, “however I’d treasure it whereas you are going to. Mrs. Sullivan knows
you are going to be leaving our workers and wishes to yell to you earlier than you kind. She can be able to also
even acquire an provide for you, however you fabricate no longer acquire to accept it whereas you fabricate no longer opt
to.”
 

I reluctantly made
my formula to room 7 and knocked on the door. “It be Melissa,” I mentioned.

Mrs. Sullivan’s
reveal answered, “Reach in, Melissa.”

I entered.
“Correct morning Mrs. Sullivan,” I mentioned. I wasn’t sure behave,
however since I used to be silent wearing my uniform, I curtsied.

Mrs. Sullivan
smiled at me. “You’re a decent maid, Melissa,” she instructed me.

I used to be bowled over.
I’d by no formula heard Mrs. Sullivan declare the relaxation good earlier than.

“Thank you,
Mrs. Sullivan,” I responded.

“You are
welcome, Melissa,” she mentioned. “I’m satisfied I discovered a maid who can kind her
job. What’s actual as critical is that your home and fabricate no longer complain.
It be refreshing to see a woman similar to you who knows reduction her
betters.”

I used to be bowled over
by these words and did now not know what to tell.

“Thank you,
Mrs. Sullivan,” I at final mentioned.

“You are
welcome, Melissa,” she mentioned. “I’m satisfied to acquire had you at my
service.”

I felt
miserable being praised, as she had mentioned, for intelligent my attach and serving
my betters. Correct because of I had worked as a maid did now not mean it was lawful to
treat me as an depraved. But I did now not wish to arouse Mrs. Sullivan, so I
swallowed my pride and smiled.

“I actually acquire a job
provide for you, Melissa,” Mrs. Sullivan added. “I do know you are leaving
the employees, however I’m very impressed along with your work and would treasure to preserve you at
my service for the relaxation of my preserve, i.e. yet every other two weeks. I’d double
your recent wage and likewise you would work completely for me. It is possible you’ll per chance attach up my
dresser, preserve my room spotless and traipse errands for me. You’d also support me with
my design-up, hair, clothes, jewelry and sneakers, besides elevate my breakfast
to my room and traipse my bath.”

I used to be bowled over
by Mrs. Sullivan’s provide. “I’m flattered,” I mentioned diplomatically.
“But I fabricate no longer think I’m licensed.”

“Clearly
you are,” Mrs. Sullivan mentioned. “And whereas you kind a decent job, I’d even
attach in tips offering you a everlasting attach down the avenue.”

“I’m sorry,
Mrs. Sullivan,” I mentioned. “I’m grateful for your provide, however I’m in a position to’t
accept. My husband is on the verge of burn-out and, no subject sharing a room with
him, I’ve barely been in a location to yell to him since I started working here. Now I
indubitably acquire to exhaust time with him and address his properly being.”

Mrs. Sullivan was
disappointed, however she understood. “I’m sorry to hear that, Melissa,”
she mentioned, “however I recognize your decision. But earlier than you permit, there is a
small something for you.” She reached into her purse and pulled out a wad
of banknotes. “Here you are, Melissa.”

I took the money,
thanked Mrs. Sullivan, dropped a final curtsy and left the room.
 

I then turned in
my uniform, positioned on a excellent searching summer season costume and began to be pleased the relaxation of
my preserve as a visitor, at my husband’s aspect.
 

In the stay, I used to be
so delighted to acquire spent a host of time with my husband. It was indubitably good to
acquire him all to myself, and so relaxing no longer to acquire to effort about work or
the relaxation else. I do know I made the lawful decision for me and my husband, however,
every so usually, I’m in a position to’t support however marvel what may had been if I hadn’t turned down
Mrs. Sullivan’s job provide…

 

THE END
