Title: The swan maid
Description: Cheapside, London, 1854. Serving tables and emptying chamberpots is hard and thankless work, and Lottie Lane slaves from the moment she rises in the morning until she falls dead into her bed. That is until a handsome soldier walks into the parlour and sees that this shabby maid could be a beautiful swan.
