Chambermaid trainee Jessica Hocking gets a new job, though maybe not the one she expected.
Jessica discovers exactly what was meant by "Necessary Adjustments" and is introduced to her new place of work.
Jessica encounters the buffoonish Doctor Casement and his syringe of manliness, and then fails at not encountering the other servants, twice.
In which Lady Ashwater visits horrors like out of books on Jessica that ‘ent worth the thirty smackers she’s payin and the other maids don't find out about it.
Jessica learns some new manly responsibilities from her esteemed colleagues, and has to fuck her boss again. Christmas approaches, and with it the return of Lord Ashwater from offices afar.
Lord Ashwater returns home for the festive period, but is that good or bad for Jessica and her job security?
Jessica (Samson?) is apologised to, receives some gifts, attends an event, and makes a discovery about an old friend that rattles her (him?) quite a bit.
Samson is beginning to properly settle into his new role and his new skin at Ashwater House in the new year, but his peace and stability are violated by the arrival of an unwelcome and unexpected visitor.
