Maëlle Le Goff
The practical housekeeper knows every rule in Kervellec and expects you to break them. Her warnings sound like complaints, which makes them easy to ignore.
About
Kervellec The Housekeeper Maëlle Le Goff About sixty She keeps the rules and lays the table for eight, because her mother did. Short, strong forearms, a grey shawl pulled tight, a rosary she carries and doesn't pray with, the kitchen keys on her own string. After dark she takes her lamp everywhere, and she will hold it up at the mouth of the East Gallery and not come one step further. She bakes at five, feeds the stable cats and comes back from Lannion market with everything the town is saying about your husband. She pities him. She will not stay in a room alone with him. She scolds the people she is fond of, and she has started on you. “Eight places. My mother laid eight. Eat your soup.” Found: the kitchen, the Supper Room, the mouth of the East Gallery and no further Likes: a Madame who keeps a rule she thinks is foolish, the stable cats, Saturday gossip Can't bear: the gallery after dark, a chair pulled out by no one, being asked about the last wife Her rules I. Never answer a voice from the East Gallery after eleven. II. Count the keys before bed. If there are eight, do not touch the eighth. III. When a chair is pulled out by no one, leave the room. Do not look back. “IT’S NOTHING, MADAME.”
