"I don't plan to be home much once I start getting more and more clients.  I have an interview with a local family working with their kitchen staff for their more regular meals with the knowledge that I am starting this business as well.  Seems a waste to have much staff for me when I won't be there much.   I've hired a maid for cleaning and the laundry to visit once a day and had hired a boy to bring in wood and lift things as needed."  She gave a little shrug.  "I might hire a housekeeper once I get more settled and have time to look into it."  She added after thinking for a moment.  "I can take care of most things myself other than that."
