Synopsis
Excerpt from Mary Price, Vol. 2: Or, the Memoirs of a Servant-Maid
He spoke civilly, even kindly; but I could not help noticing that the footmen stared at me with an intentness almost amounting to rudeness. The instant however the old porter made a sign, which he did, for them to desist, they averted their looks so that I at once felt assured he was no mean authority in the household. I sat down in the hall, where I had not been many minutes ere three little ponies with the children riding on them, and attended by a groom on horseback, galloped up to the door. These children were all girls, their ages appearing to - be eight, ten, and twelve; and so far as I could judge, they sat upon their little steeds with the most perfect knowledge of horsemanship. They had elegant riding-habits, hats with feathers, blue veils, and little whips not larger than switches. The footmen ran out from the hall to help them to alight: and then those three children caressed their ponies with quite a womanly air.
Now, John, said the eldest, addressing the footman who had helped her off, walk J uno about a little before she's taken into the stable. And mind, I won't have her legs washed till she is thoroughly cool. You see we have been giving the horses a regular good run.
