Real-world Examples

In the servants’ hall two coachmen and three gentlemen’s gentlemen stood or sat round the fire; the abigails, I suppose, were upstairs with their mistresses; the new servants, that had been hired from Millcote, were bustling about everywhere.

Servants' huoneessa kaksi tallinpoikaa ja kolme herrasmiesten palvelijaa seisoivat tai istuivat tulen ääressä; oletan, että abigailit olivat yläkerrassa emäntien kanssa; Millcotesta palkatut uudet palvelijat kiirehtivät kaikkialla.
