Question

[jestana.livejournal.com]

I'm writing a story set between the two World Wars. Two of the main characters are a wealthy young lady and her maid. They're traveling on an ocean liner from England to America, like Bertie and Jeeves did. Would they have shared quarters, or berthed separately? Any advice would be welcome.

Great aunt would be fine, but they would share a suite/bedroom, unless the great aunt's husband was there also, then they'd have a family suite or she would an adjacent bedroom.

So it'd be all right if the great aunt's husband wasn't there? He's passed away, but she's a tough old bird. Along the lines of Aunt Dahlia.

Yeah, that would be fine, she's old and respectable enough to chaperone her niece.

Good to know. I love writing the great-aunt. :D
