(the
above diagram is my interpretation of the text in Unit 18, p.43)

- The Upper
Manservant, the Upper Maidservant and the Lower Maidservant are the
keys that form the Master's indoor work-force, and you might expect
to encounter them frequently about the house. The Day Labourer and the
Female Outworker might enter the house but would not cross your path
as frequently as the indoor workers. Black Maggie (a reference to the
swarthy complexioned Queen Margaret of Sweden) is exceptional and might
be encountered with the other more closely related keys.
- If the
Master were C Major, then the following would apply:
- Upper
Manservant (or Butler) - G Major
- Upper
Maidservant (or Parlourmaid) - A Minor
- Lower
Maidservant (or Kitchenmaid) - E Minor
- Day
Labourer (or Farmhand) - F Major
- Female
Outworker (or Milkmaid) - D Minor
- Black
Maggie - C Minor
