“Thank you, Madame.”

“I should like to meet with all of the staff at two this afternoon. Do you think you could arrange that for me, please?”

“Of course.”

“Good. And after I meet everyone, I’d like a few minutes of your time to discuss the managing of the servants and to go over the household account. If that meets with your schedule?”

“Whenever you say, Madame, will suit me. I have everything in order for you.”

“I have no doubts on that. Our meeting should go smoothly. And one last thing. I’d like for Ellie to be kept on as my personal maid.”

His brows shot up again in surprise, though he only said, “If that is your wish, Madame.” Ellie had already admitted to Olivia that she couldn’t please Whibbs in her household duties, and by the cleanli-ness of the house it appeared Whibbs’s standard was high.

But Ellie had seemed to know exactly what Olivia needed last night. For that reason alone she wanted to give the maid a chance.

“It is,”Olivia said without further explanation. “Make any arrangements that are necessary for her to remain with us.”

“Yes, Madame, I’ll take care of it,” he said a bit stiffly, but he didn’t question her further.

Olivia gave Whibbs a genuine smile. “Thank you. I’ll take that tea now.”

After receiving her cup, Olivia stepped out the back door to the garden feeling good that her first task as lady of the house had been handled and had gone quite well. She hadn’t expected any trouble with Whibbs and there hadn’t been any.
