L49-2:
The ideal servant
/ði/ /aɪˈdɪəl/ /ˈsɜːvənt/
Though my aunt pursued what was, in those days, an
/ðəʊ/ /maɪ/ /ɑːnt/ /pəˈsjuːd/ /wɒt/ /wɒz,/ /ɪn/ /ðəʊz/ /deɪz,/ /æn/
enlightened policy, in that she never allowed her domestic
/ɪnˈlaɪtnd/ /ˈpɒlɪsi,/ /ɪn/ /ðæt/ /ʃiː/ /ˈnɛvər/ /əˈlaʊd/ /hɜː/ /dəʊˈmɛstɪk/
staff to work more than eight hours a day, she was extremely
/stɑːf/ /tuː/ /wɜːk/ /mɔː/ /ðæn/ /eɪt/ /ˈaʊəz/ /ə/ /deɪ,/ /ʃiː/ /wɒz/ /ɪksˈtriːmli/
difficult to please. While she always criticized the fickleness
/ˈdɪfɪkəlt/ /tuː/ /pliːz./ /waɪl/ /ʃiː/ /ˈɔːlweɪz/ /ˈkrɪtɪsaɪzd/ /ðə//ˈfɪklnɪs/
of human nature, she carried on an unrelenting search for
/ɒv/ /ˈhjuːmən/ /ˈneɪʧə,/ /ʃiː/ /ˈkærid/ /ɒn/ /ən//ˌʌnrɪˈlɛntɪŋ/ /sɜːʧ/ /fɔː/
the ideal servant to the end of her days, even after she had
/ði/ /aɪˈdɪəl/ /ˈsɜːvənt/ /tuː/ /ði/ /ɛnd/ /ɒv/ /hɜː/ /deɪz,/ /ˈiːvən/ /ˈɑːftə/ /ʃiː/ /hæd/
been sadly disillusioned by Bessie. Bessie worked for Aunt
/biːn/ /ˈsædli/ /ˌdɪsɪˈluːʒənd//baɪ/ /Bessie.Bessie/ /wɜːkt/ /fɔːr/ /ɑːnt/
Harriet for three years. During that time she so gained my
/ˈhærɪət/ /fɔː/ /θriː/ /jɪəz./ /ˈdjʊərɪŋ/ /ðæt/ /taɪm/ /ʃiː/ /səʊ/ /geɪnd/ /maɪ/
aunt's confidence that she was put in charge of the domestic
/ɑːnts/ /ˈkɒnfɪdəns/ /ðæt/ /ʃiː/ /wɒz/ /pʊt/ /ɪn/ /ʧɑːʤ/ /ɒv/ /ðə/ /dəʊˈmɛstɪk/
staff. Aunt Harriet could not find words to praise Bessie's
/stɑːf./ /ɑːnt/ /ˈhærɪət/ /kʊd/ /nɒt/ /faɪnd/ /wɜːdz/ /tuː/ /preɪz/ /Bessie's/
industriousness and efficiency. In addition to all her other
/ɪnˈdʌstrɪəsnəs/ /ænd/ /ɪˈfɪʃənsi./ /ɪn/ /əˈdɪʃ(ə)n/ /tuː/ /ɔːl/ /hɜːr/ /ˈʌðə/
qualifications, Bessie was an expert cook. She acted the role
/ˌkwɒlɪfɪˈkeɪʃənz,/ /Bessie/ /wɒz/ /ən/ /ˈɛkspɜːt/ /kʊk./ /ʃiː/ /ˈæktɪd/ /ðə/ /rəʊl/
of the perfect servant for three years before Aunt Harriet
/ɒv/ /ðə/ /ˈpɜːfɪkt/ /ˈsɜːvənt/ /fɔː/ /θriː/ /jɪəz/ /bɪˈfɔːr/ /ɑːnt/ /ˈhærɪət/
discovered her 'little weakness'. After being absent from the
/dɪsˈkʌvəd/ /hɜː/ /ˈlɪtl/ /ˈwiːknɪs./ /ˈɑːftə/ /ˈbiːɪŋ/ /ˈæbsənt/ /frɒm/ /ðiː/
Gables for a week, my aunt unexpectedly returned one
/ˈgeɪblz/ /fɔːr/ /ə/ /wiːk,/ /maɪ/ /ɑːnt/ /ˌʌnɪksˈpɛktɪdli/ /rɪˈtɜːnd/ /wʌn/
afternoon with a party of guests and instructed Bessie to

prepare dinner.
