Come Out of the Kitchen!

A Romance

By: Alice Duer Miller

Narrated by: Susan Iannucci

When Mr. Burton Crane leases a house in the country, he expects it to be fully staffed. Except—it isn’t. Mr. Crane enlists the help of his friend, Mrs. Falkener, to interview his prospective cook, butler, housemaid, and general helper. She, however, doesn’t like them—but Mr. Crane is especially drawn to the cook and overrules his friend.

But was Mrs. Falkener right to be suspicious? Who are these servants, really?

Soon the helper, the housemaid, and the butler are dismissed, leaving only the cook—a most improper scenario!
