I know I’m being set up for the rich ild lady switcheroo, but based Agatha Christie is sending me.

A highlighted portion of a page from The Hollow by Agatha Christie. “She had no particular illusions about working. She disliked the ship, she disliked Madame Alfrege, she disliked the eternal subservience to ill-tempered and impolite customers, but she doubted very much whether she could obtain any other job which she would like better since she had none of the necessary qualifications. Edward’s assumption that a wide range of choice was open to her was simply unbearably irritating this morning. What right had Edward to live in a world so divorced from reality?”
Another highlighted page from The Hollow. “‘The pampered attitude to life,’ said David. ‘If you were a worker-‘ Midge interrupted him. ‘I am a worker. That’s just why being comfortable is so attractive. Box beds, down pillows — early-morning tea softly deposited beside the bed — a porcelain bath with lashings of hot water — and delicious bath salts. The kind of easy chair you really sink into….’ ‘The workers,’ said David, ‘should have all these things.’ But he was a little doubtful about the softly deposited early-morning tea, which sounded impossibly sybaritic for an earnestly organized world. ‘I couldn’t agree with you more,’ said Midge heartily.”
