National Trust


Working at Lanhydrock House has widened my experience and knowledge about what life was like when there were servants to do everything for their employers.

The sequel to Eumeralla has a prequel about servants in such a house. The Lanhydrock family were kind and went to the extent of calling their servants staff instead of servants, which showed how they respected those who worked for them.

The family in my sequel are just the opposite to the Agar-Robarts. It's interesting that nasty people are easier to write about than nice people, but writers must be wary of making them cliched and one dimentional.
