Miss Fairfax lives!
I'm not sure which bemuses me more -- that this situation occurred, or that it was worthy of a newspaper article!
And why, exactly, did M Jassim brave stiff opposition from his wife, anyway?
Doesn't it all sound like the makings of a Jane Austen novel?

Re: Doha and Docility?
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?
