Wealthy family resided in enormous Victorian mansions with three or four floors and several rooms. They had many bathrooms and even flushing toilets. They generally had slaves who did everything, such as cleaning the house, washing clothing, and cooking meals. The masters ate breakfast in the dining room on a silver service, lunch at one o'clock, dinner at six or seven. They went to bed late and got up early. A typical morning schedule might look like this: Madeira or hot chocolate was served around 8:30 while the master read the newspaper. By 9:00 he would have shaved and dressed for the day. Breakfast usually wasn't served until 10:00 because most families wanted their children ready first thing in the morning for school. At noon the master took his nap. He slept in a large bedroom by himself where there were no children allowed. After his nap he had tea with two or three slices of bread and butter or cake. This was an afternoon break which lasted about an hour. At 4:00 p.m. the mother arrived from her job as a teacher or nurse and they had tea together. In the evening after supper (usually 7:00-7:30) the father came in from his office or study and talked with his family. Then all the children had their baths and went to bed.
