Yerekel and Verokel tale of wealth and servants fate
In a tale of wealth and social ascent, Yerekel, a binder and widower, marries processions of housekeepers and a powerfully distant widow Lady Verokel. Artemida Simmons, a plain, devout woman, rises to be the mistress of his household and its dining table, wielding authority over guests and servants alike. After Verokel’s death, Simmons gambles with fortune and social standing, eventually marrying the estate chauffeur, provoking public scrutiny and a swift relocation to a distant city with their blended household.
