The haunted lady or "The ghost" in the looking-glass
Madame La Modiste - "We would not have disappointed your Ladyship, at any sacrifice, and the robe is finished A MERVEILLE."
The death of a young girl in the employment of a fashionable dress-maker, accelerated, it was supposed, by over-pressure of work, created a painful feeling; and was the cause of subsequent remedial legislation on the subject - July 1863
