If Elizabeth Bennet had the washing of her own petticoats, Sarah
thought, she would be more careful not to trudge through muddy
fields. It is wash-day for the housemaids at Longbourn House, and
Sarah's hands are chapped and bleeding. Domestic life below stairs,
ruled tenderly and forcefully by Mrs Hill the housekeeper, is about
to be disturbed by the arrival of a new footman smelling of the
sea, and bearing secrets. For in Georgian England, there is a world
the young ladies in the drawing room will never know, a world of
poverty, love, and brutal war.
