Okay…
I’m getting to grips with my work in the office…
It’s time to do the same at home. What does it take to run a house like this?
Household accounts.
My Master’s housekeeper…
No…
… My housekeeper, Mrs Martin, has already been told I’ll be taking over the accounts. Indeed, the incoming paperwork should, by now, be addressed to me.
… MyThus far, nothing has been presented to me, so I trot up the back stairs to the office…
… where nothing has changed.
The filing cabinets are locked. As are the glass-fronted bookcases housing files labelled for purchases, receipts and bank statements. The desk is clear, with not even an in-tray to suggest where I might find new paperwork.
Fishing out my mobile, I scroll through my contacts, until I find the number I’m looking for. Catherine Marti
