"Excerpt from Emily Fox-Seton: Being "the Making of a Marchioness" And "the Methods of Lady Walderhurst"
Emily fox-seton, however, was far from making any professions of grandeur. As time went on, she had become fond enough of the Cupps to be quite frank with them about her connection with these grand people. The countess had heard from afriend that she had once found her an excellent governess, and she had commissioned her to find for her a reliable young ladies'' sewing-maid. She had done some secretarial work for a charity of which the duchess was patroness. In fact these people only knew her as awell-bred woman who for a modest re muneration would make herself extremely useful in numberless practical ways. She knew much more of them than they knew of her, and, in her affec tionate admiration for those who treated her with human kindness, sometimes spoke to Mrs. Cupp or Jane of their beauty or charity with a very nice ingenuous feeling. Naturally some of her patrons grew fond of her, and as she was a fine handsome young woman with a perfectly correct bearing, they gave her little pleasures, inviting her to tea or luncheon, or taking her to the theatre.
