There had to be a new maid.  Mrs. Pearson, Mr. Tinkerman, and Lorn had discussed it.  The plan was that eventually Lorn and Karen would be getting married, which meant three more bodies in the house and two small ones would get old enough to get into things and make messes.  It was just a part of having children.   Not to mention, likely there would be more children that come after the two marry at some point.  Lorn wanted Karen to eventually take over leading the household things with Mrs. Pearson as her assistant.  However, they would need someone to help with the laundry once that happened. 

Mrs. Pearson recommended having the youngest maid, Molly helping with Karen for now, to learn how Karen wanted it done now.  Then once the wedding took place Molly could take over the lead on the laundry as Karen took over the household budgeting and managing.  There would need to be a new maid, and when the wedding came extra hands to do it up right, would be helpful.  Lorn had agreed completely.  He assigned the job of the first interviewing to Mrs. Pearson, and when the right person was met, then Lorn would meet the woman and make a final choice.

Mrs. Pearson had scheduled several, but so far none had met what she felt fit the family and the way the staff interacted with each other yet.  Today was to be another young woman, and Mrs. Pearson hoped this one would be appropriate for them.
