Meanwhile , Jack had reached the Lodge and made his request to Somers , the gamekeeper . `` I 'm main sorry , sir , but the missus thought as you would want her at eleven -- as usual , so she started off early to get her marketing done first . I 'll be sure and tell her to take her things up for the night as soon as she gets home . '' `` Ten o'clock ! No Mrs. Somers yet ! '' Mrs. Cheriton picked up her little daughter and carried her upstairs . `` We 'll make the beds , Mollie , you and I , '' she said , tossing the little maid into the middle of the shaken-up feather bed .
