Diary of Phyllis Bethel of Topsham Devon

An account of her travels with her husband and her daughter Marion from Wiesbaden in Germany and the Second World war in Topsham Devon as written in her diaries between 1929 and 1953.

5 thJanuary 1937

Today we had to interview a new maid. Marion left folding doors ajar and getting on all fours peeped through at the applicants. Her powers of observation are wonderful. She told me one girl stood, till I came in, while the other sat down, took off her gloves and began to read papers. She thought the first would do more work, all this from a 7 3/4 year old little girl. She explained it was because' she was a "drawer" that she noticed these things.
