Housemaid Thelma went back to Ireland and was happy to reunite with her family. Roderick, Heather and Ada found employment elsewhere in Oxford, just like Emily who began to work as a chambermaid for another reputable family and who didnʼt hesitate to immediately seduce both the lord of the house and his two sons.

Holly Witherspoon managed to sell Oscarʼs house for very good money. In return, Oscar allowed her to keep a very generous part of the sum as well as some of the furniture, just as he had promised.
