Her Madam was very upset about this and asked "Now Maria, why do you want an increase?"

"Well Madam, there are three reasons why I want an increase. The first is that I iron better than you."

"Who said you iron better than me?" asked the Madam

"The Master said so."

"Oh!"

"The second reason is that I am a better cook than you." said the maid

"Nonsense, who said you were a better cook than I?"

"The Master did."

"Oh!"

"My third reason is that I am a better "woman" than you."

very upset now Madam said. "Did the Master say so as well?"

"No Madam, the gardener said."
