In Gosford Park Written by Maisy (8/30/2005 4:21 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, I did not know this..., penned by Robbin

Are you new?

Maggie Smith's character frets over the tips she feels obliged to leave for the staff, and she had brought along her own lady's maid.

I immediately thought of this when I read the reference to Richis in Letter 5.
