Bessy is intrigued by her new employer but puzzled by her increasingly strange requests and her insistence that Bessy keep a journal of her mundane chores and most intimate thoughts. And the missus has a few secrets of her own, including her near- obsessive affection for Nora, a former maid who died in mysterious circumstances.Smoke-free and Pet-free.I ship the same day or next business day Perfect for everyday use. superior materials and excellent craftsmanship ensure long-lasting durability.
