Mistaken Identity, Deliberate Humiliation

On New Year's Eve, my in-laws returned from abroad to have dinner at our house.

But the housekeeper only prepared two plates of cold shrimp,and this was after I'd specifically reminded her that Sophie was allergic to shellfish.

The housekeeper, Victoria Young, said to me matter-of-factly:

"Mrs. Pierce, you bumpkin love to take advantage. I understand that your parents are coming over to mooch a free meal during the holidays."

"But as Mr. Pierce's most trusted housekeeper, I have the right to protect the Pierce family assets from being tainted by filthy people—not even for one dinner."
