Notes |
- Alma Pasqual grew up a world away from all this, as the daughter of a shopkeeper in the village of Tarlac, near Manila. In an arrangement that owes much to the mail-order bride business, she came to Devon to marry an electrician, Bryan Slater, after an 18-month correspondence. The marriage was not a success and, amid financial and other troubles, Alma decided to look for work as a cleaner. Thus, in 1992, she came to be hired at pounds 5 an hour by Lady Southampton to clean Stone Cross, a five-bedroom country house, worth pounds 500,000. At Alma's home, things got worse - "I was treated like a skivvy" - and she started divorce proceedings.
