The Maid and the Footman explores the increasing affection between a young lady’s maid and a retired Army sergeant, which was as great as any love written about by the immortals. In the Jane Austen universe, the novels are written from the point-of-view of the landed gentry. Servants are rarely seen except to open doors, serve dinner, or fetch smelling salts. The Maid and the Footman asserts that class is an imaginary distinction conferring no better manners on the “haves” and no lesser nobility on the “have-nots” and that the deepest human emotions are universal.

What/where/when was her destination?
