Leigh Hunt's description in the 1829 Gentleman's Pocket Magazine is so delightful that it was difficult to choose an excerpt. I chose this section because it offers a poignant glimpse of the maidservant's private life—the precious little she had. You can read the entire piece (and I think it's well worth reading) here.
