This is a story about two typically reserved English women -- a teashop proprietor and her maid. The lady is beautiful and seems disinclined to marry. She knows how to run a business and charm her customers. Otherwise, she is intermittently scatterbrained. She is very kind to her young maid Shirley, who is very hard-working and earnest. As the chapters succeed each other, a series of typical days and evenings of such an employer-employee pair unroll. Nothing very dramatic happens, but it does gradually become apparent (now at chapter 8) that little Shirley is very happy and relieved to have such a boss. The two are gradually becoming a viable duo that works well for getting on in the world.
For many, perhaps most, people, this kind of sedate slice of life story is what their lives consist of. And there may be great feeling within that quiet package.
I love this series.

An excellent classic one; it's up to my expectation after reading Emma. The old lovely and unique "English" artstyle, and simple, soft yet fascinating plot. Highly recommended for those who has an "old English style" fetish like me!
Too bad it's just one volume.

Though as simple as the story unfolds with no much complexity.. the artwork alone was appealing. Somehow, a glimpse that is really interesting to ponder on..
