Lucy is Ill

Lucy is insisting on a morning stroll despite cloudy skies. It rains a lot here in Springtime. I have a bad feeling about this.

I have successful tortured Lucy back to health. These books of mine never fail me.

[@Master_Blackthorne]

I remember reading once in an Early American magazine in the section about insuring family antiques. People would send in pictures of their heirlooms and ask how much they should insure them for. On lady sent in a picture about an unusual one handled soup tureen which had the pride of place at family gatherings. The magazine wrote back: "You should insure your chamber pot for $500."

I love that Lucy's hair is pinned and curled the entire time. She's miserable, but her hair looks good!

[@TuckerSP2011]

Dr. Justine. Death by knowledge ☠️. No citrus for you!

[@alalder1533]

For the 1830s the way the relationship between the maid and mistress is portrayed is very interesting and probably not representative as the maid seems to be too familiar. However, such a maid must have been a real gem!

[@miachambers830]

Justine was actually more than a maid. She was thrown out of the convent (from her own account) and her mother was friends with Mrs. Stephenson, so Justine was put to work.. she was a bit rebellious..! LOL She was enjoying the ‘orange peels up the nose’ a bit too much, methinks..!! LOL (I was too..!)

[@DrCuriensapprentice]

Justine’s Mother was related or friends with the Stephensons (Justine may have known them in childhood), Justine was in the Convent for some reason and the Stephensons offered to take her in, in exchange for domestic duties. So she was more of a Protégé than a domestic servant, I’d imagine Lucy and Benjamin wouldn’t be as lax with her if she was just someone they hired (although Benjamin did tell her off for being behind with the laundry).

[@peterraimondi9569]

[@islandgal500]

I would have first washed and finely grated (rasp) the orange and lemon outsides into a bowl and also poured boiling water over those peels into another bowl after extracting the juice from them. Let steep like a tea and also then use a mortar and pestle to squash as much out of those softened peels as possible. Then can add some tea leaves (camomile or other). To my surprise, I actually had some tiny camomile plants growing in my yard naturally. I wonder if someone seeded the edge of my walkway at one time? In a bowl add some honey and maybe some crushed natural dried leaves of anything that helps with sleep (we will do without the opium, thank you very much). Now into the honey bowl, sieve the boiled tea/peelings liquid, add the extracted juices from the citrus, and you have a few cups of citrus concoction (that might be better than shoving orange peels up the nostrils). Save the rest for later that evening and the next morning to be reheated. Some scrambled eggs and a piece of toasted bread with it will build up strength and then a long nap will get things back to normal in a few days. Light foods, plenty of liquid, and a lot of sleep are the answer to getting well again. I have a health 'nut' friend who used to get colds often and she would go out for a jog/run near the beginning of it instead of resting and would take twice as long to get better. At the first inkling of a sniffle, I, on the other hand, would have a hot bath, get into bed with an easy-to-eat meal, and would be better by morning. I only got a cold about once every 5 years when she was silly enough to come near me and share her raging cold! I've always been interested in the properties of natural plants but rely on not getting sick in the first place by not taxing my body to keep itself warm when exposed to the illnesses of others. Common sense works well. Yes, I would have been the woman in her cottage in the woods with natural plants drying all over the place. The men would eventually have come to charge me as a witch!
