Beth glared at the disrespectful maid for not addressing her as Mrs Humphrey or Lady Beth as she instructed everyone to do. Now that Jack was going to propose to her, it was time to start weeding out the servants who would be fired.

"Doctor Chester!" Beth spoke over Jack. She stood up from sitting on Jack's lap to greet Chester. "I hope you were well with the long ride."
