In Our Words Canadians Reading Together

Two weeks of planning and trying to be prepared for the fancy party is in full swing now and she is very confident because she seems to have the hang of things. Amy sees Mr. Smith and he gives her a wink but still no smile on his face. After the party she cleaned the room where the party was held. She was on her way out when Mr. Smith approaches her to give her a yellow envelope. Amy wonders what is in there, so she opens the envelope to find Mr. Smith had gave her a bonus. When she looked up to thank him, he was gone.

Early next morning Amy got everything ready for breakfast. Laura and the kids were waiting on Mr. Smith, which is always on time for everything. Mr. Smith finally enters the room to apologize for being late. He asks everyone to be silent for a minute because he would like to say something to Amy. He looked at her with a serious look on his face when he told her that she did remarkably well at the party with a smile on his face.

Amy finally feels well accepted being a maid and a good friend of the family. She stays on as the maid for many years and is treated very well in the home of the Smith’s.
