Pepy. and the Cook Maid.

There was a servant problem in the
seventeenth century, but it was solved
In a rough and ready fashion. Pepys
records on April IL, 1867, that he came
home, saw my door and hatch open,
left so by Luce, our cook maid, which
SO vexed me that I did give her a kick
In our entry and offered a blow at her."
Two days afterward Gord's day.
Pepys writes this: "Took out my wife
and the two MERGERS and two Of our
maids, Barker and Jane, and over the
water to the Jamaica house, where I
never was before, and there the girls
did run for wagers over the bowling
green, and there with much pleasure
spent little, and SO home" Luce was not
there, but the other maids were treated
as members of the family.
