"The servants who attend in a lady’s apartment are generally slave girls, or Portuguese women; and the nurses for children are Portuguese. The gardeners are called Mollies; like all the other people, many hands do but little work; the men who bring water for the gardens, and other purposes, are called Busties; they carry the water in large leathern bags slung over their backs, at one corner of which there is a sort of spout, which they bring under the right arm; by that means they water the gardens, and throw it whenever else it is necessary. The taylors who make your linen are monthly servants; the slowness of these men can be equalled by nothing but their stupidity. All the linen is washed by men who are paid by the month. The Derwan’s business is to stand at the outward door, to announce visitors; but they are not generally kept, as a Peon, or Chubdar, will do that office."
