1st May 1926
Dear Alec,
Just when those who should be working are all downing tools for this wretched strike (and I still can't believe it - I mean to say:
Riots Alec - in Edinburgh of all places), guess who is setting her virgin shoulder to is very first wheel?
I am dressed in serge and sensible footwear, sleeping in an iron bed and dining off pickled tongue at six o'clock each day. I am, in short, that nice young Mrs Balfour's new maid. But don't worry, Alec dear: things haven't got as bad as all that. It's just that that nice young Mr Balfour is going to kill his wife. At least, she thinks so, and the more I hear about him from Butler, Cook and Bootboy the more I'm inclined to agree.
So I'm undercover, in disguise, bent upon foiling and jolly hard work it is too - tomorrow is my half-day free if you'd care take me out for a restorative bun. (Every maid needs a beau to buy buns for her.)
Yours
Dandy xx
P.s. Ask for Miss Rossiter below stairs I am she.
