I'm not a sort of upper servant at all--not at all.) Oh, yes, you are, if you're paid twelve pounds a month--three pounds a week. That's about what father's sick-nurse gets, I believe. You don't do it for twelve pounds a month. You can make twelve pounds in a day, if you like to work at your little models: I know you can sell your statuette things as soon as you make them.
