After a few minutes the door opened again. From the first moment Lucy decided that she liked Emma Crackenthorpe.
She was a middle-aged woman with no very outstanding characteristics, neither good-looking nor plain, sensibly dressed in tweeds and pullover, with dark hair swept back from her forehead, steady hazel eyes and a very pleasant voice.

"I wonder," she said, “if this post is really what you're looking for? I don't want a housekeeper, you know, to supervise things. I want someone to do the work."

Emma Crackenthorpe said apologetically:
"So many people, you know, seem to think that just a little light dusting will answer the case - but I can do all the light dusting myself."
"I quite understand," said Lucy. "You want cooking and washing-up, and housework and stoking the boiler. That's all right. That's what I do. I'm not at all afraid of work."
