Mary, in her first situation, listened intently to her mistress’s instructions. “ And always remember to change the serviettes,” she was told. “ Don’t give the guests the same ones they had for breakfast. Understand?” Mary nodded. After supper the girl was summoned by an angry mistress. “ I thought I distinctly told you to change the serviettes, Mary?” she snapped. “ The guests had those that were used at breakfast.” “ Oh, no, ma’am,” said Mary, “ they didn’t have the same ones! After breakfast I gathered them all up and shuffled them well and gave the guests a different one each.”
