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.

In de bediendenkamer stonden of zaten twee koetsiers en drie hofdames rond het vuur; de stalmeisjes, zo vermoed ik, waren boven bij hunne dames; de nieuwe bedienden, die uit Millcote waren aangeworven, haastten zich overal.
