[Gutenberg 44319] • Miss Heck's Thanksgiving Party; or, Topsy Up To Date

Excerpt from Miss. Heck's Thanksgiving Party: Or Topsy Up to Date

Yet, notwithstanding the accidental disadvantages which hamper this bright maid, she has managed to achieve at least local distinction in more directions than one. Few families are there in Rexville who have not at one time or another availed themselves of Miss Hecks services. Servants of any degree of ability are exceedingly rare in Rexville, so that Miss Myra could easily reign as the bright particular star in the domestic firmament of the universe, were it not for certain peculiarities of temperament, added to an ugly habit of prevaricating, together with a too confident disposition to presume upon her mistress willingness to permit her cook to parade the streets dressed in silks and satins from her own wardrobe.
