Antoinette, Antonia, Toni
“Antoinette.”
Her name was Antonia, but Miss Elizabeth Baker insisted on the former. It sounded French, posh, and Miss Beth loved that, and bragging. A French ladies maid, born in New Zealand, lived in Australia, the United Kingdom. Antonia’s never been to France even despite her mother never staying still, Europe was too good for the Russell’s. Toni had however caught a glimpse through the window in Miss Beth’s room, you couldn’t see the Eiffel Tower, so how could one be sure that it really was France, it was just as ugly a dock as England was and Ireland would be.
