Trials And Confessions Of A Housekeeper is a book written by T.S. Arthur. The book is a collection of short stories that revolve around the theme of domestic life and the challenges faced by housekeepers. The book is divided into three parts, with each part containing several stories. The first part deals with the trials faced by housekeepers in their daily lives. The stories in this section explore the difficulties of managing a household, dealing with difficult employers, and coping with the demands of family life. The second part of the book focuses on the confessions of housekeepers. These stories delve into the secrets and struggles that housekeepers face, including the temptation to steal, the challenge of balancing work and personal life, and the emotional toll of caring for someone else's home. The final part of the book offers a glimpse into the lives of housekeepers and their employers. These stories explore the complex relationships between housekeepers and their employers, including the dynamics of power and control, the challenges of communication, and the importance of mutual respect. Overall, Trials And Confessions Of A Housekeeper is a thought-provoking and insightful collection of stories that sheds light on the often-overlooked world of domestic work. Arthur's writing is engaging and empathetic, and his stories offer a unique perspective on the challenges and joys of life as a housekeeper.THERE are, among the many things which Mr. Smith, like other men, will not understand, frequent difficulties about the children's clothing. He seems to think that frocks and trowsers grow spontaneously; or that the dry goods, once bought and brought into the house, will resolve into the shapes desired, and fit themselves to the children's backs, like Cindarella's suit in the nursery tale. Now, I never did claim to be a sprite; and I am not sure that the experience of all housekeepers will bear me out in the opinion that the longer a woman is married, the less she becomes like a fairy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
