Ellie placed the boot to be polished on the newspaper. The paper was dated a few days ago, out of date for news, but perfectly acceptable to protect tabletops. The boots were mens, well made, and lightly creased across the toes from wear. Ellie dipped the rag in polish and slathered the shoe in it. Moving the cloth in circular motions, Ellie got bored and started to read the wanted adverts in the paper, before they were made illegible from dirt.
Gentleman wanted for stimulating conversation, friendship, tennis partner ...
For Sale: Border Collie Sheepdog puppies....
For Sale: One brass bedstead...
The next advert intrigued her
Maid needed. One woman and one cat home, easy work. You do not need to be very cultured or literate, but it would help. May need to run errands such as to the market sometimes. I like competency but can work with someone new to the job if they have a nice face. Job seekers may come in to Pennyfeather's Papers for an interview.
Ellie could so do that job. Probably a little old lady in need of assistance. Surely a quiet old lady would be better than the overbearing employer she had now. In a uncharacteristically impulsive move, Ellie resolved to go right then and there to the location listed in the advert to see if the job was still available. What did she have to lose? She quickly removed her apron, and left it hanging over the back of the kitchen chair. She'd just be gone for a little bit.
