The first day working in 'the great manor' was a whole new experience for Ruth. Yesterday Ida only showed her around, and half of the time went in a conversation with Theodora.
But today, Ida showed Ruth everything that she needed to do and take care of, as Elsie's head maid. By the afternoon, Ruth's ankles wailed in pain. The most tiresome task of her job was running around the vast property.
Ruth was used to walking the distance between her home and Mr Cooper's shop. She then used to spend her day sitting in her chair in the shop.
For collecting Elsie's favourite flowers, Ruth needed to walk a long distance, that felt like reaching to the moon. Nonetheless, Ruth enjoyed the whole experience so far.
Ida taught her etiquettes she had to follow in front of Elsie, her family and the guests respectively. Ruth also learned about the commands these elites give using various gestures.
