On the first day of April, in the year of our Lord 1,875 the following advertisement appeared in the times newspaper, house maid and companion wanted immediately. A smart, active young woman who thoroughly understands her business. A small house, and only one in family washing given out, must have first class references. Good wages given, send copies of discharges to Mrs G. Lambert cottage, thornton heath. The mrs G who advertised in these terms was a widow lady named Gillison, and among those who applied for the situation was Susan Copeland of the village of Stock Berry, in the county of Kent. How a copy of the Times happened to arrive in Stock. Berry does not appear upon the evidence, but in all probability it had been sent to the vicar and the wife of that worthy clergymen, who had an insatiable thirst for the knowledge that is to be obtained from advertisements came upon this want of mrs Gilson, and brought it before the notice of Susan Copeland.
