Your Edwardian rules include this one: "Any maid found fraternising with a member of the opposite sex will be dismissed without a hearing." Perhaps that's M Jassim's wife's position. It certainly makes me wonder what opportunity Mohiuddin had to fall in love with Shamim?
BTW, I do remember maids having one day off a week in Agatha Christies and that era of books.
Also, did the "good samaritan" reference strike anyone else as odd in context?
