(notes 82 and 83 are: Monteage, 'Diary', 21 February 1763, 15 May 1763. )
A handful of servants appear in the diaries of Thomas Bridge and Elizabeth Tyrrell, but only Stephen Monteage mentions interacting with servants to any great degree. Monteage was apparently close with his non-resident housekeeper, Mrs. Rubidge, as he recorded having conversations with her about her life and the wellbeing of her husband and son. They also went to the theatre together.82 Mrs. Rubidge and her son “little Joey” joined Monteage on short excursions, traveling with him, his friend Mr. Leadbetter and Miss Kitty (perhaps another servant), to Tooting to dine.83 Even Mr. Rubidge, who does not appear to have worked for Monteage, entered into Stephen’s social circle: on Michaelmas Day they walked together and drank tea in Monteage’s house. Monteage’s descriptions of the conversations he had with Mrs. Rubidge suggest that he asked all the questions, but this may reflect his writing style rather than the actual mode of their interactions.
