The story revolves around Fanny, a young and wealthy woman who hires a new servant, Ellen, to work in her household. Ellen turns out to be a very unusual and eccentric character, with a penchant for telling tall tales and getting into trouble. As Fanny tries to manage Ellen's antics, she also has to deal with the various other characters in her household, including her brother-in-law, a young artist, and a flirtatious neighbor.Throughout the book, Jerome satirizes the rigid class distinctions of Victorian society, as well as the absurdity of the servant-master relationship.
