Diary Of A Provincial Lady, Chapter 16

Diary of a Provincial Lady, published nearly a hundred years ago by E M Delafield, is a direct ancestor of Bridget Jones' Diary. In tonight's episode, our narrator's stay in London continues, although she is still unsuccessful in her search for a new house parlor maid. Then Robert telegraphs with surprising news - a house parlor MAN is available locally. Should he accept the offer?

This gentle story of the daily ups and downs of domestic life has been compared with George Grossmith's Diary of a Nobody, also available narrated by me in Free Tracks.
