Would they ever hire temporary help? Written by kathleen (elder) (2/11/2004 7:20 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Question about what servants were used to, penned by Line

Would you have a huge staff for the portion of the year when no member of the family was staying at Pemberley? Or would they hire temporary help for when Darcy brings a party of friends?

Also, did visitors bring servants with them? That would actually mean more food preparation and after meal clean up, as well as additional laundry, for example.
