Barbara Annie French Hector

After serving a six years' apprenticeship to a French milliner and dressmaker, Barbara West, a young girl living in London, thinks she would prefer taking a place as lady's maid to following her trade. She obtains a situation as attendant to a young girl about her own age, in an out-of-the-way country place. The two girls become great friends and confidants, their love affairs being the chief theme of their conversations. A mystery is discovered in Barbara's life, showing that she is nobly born, and not a common servant.
