Consort: habitually associate with (someone), typically with the disapproval of others. 19 year old Jane Hemphings had just landed a job at the house of one of Connecticut's most wealthiest families, the Johnson's. After Jane's father left her and her mom when she was just 2 years old, she knew what the real meaning of suffering and being poor was. Moving from motel to motel, spending occasional nights on the streets, and so on. In order to help her mother with debts and financial issues, she decided to leave her home and landed the job of being a housekeeper in the Johnson's house. Sleeping in a grand room, eating luxurious food, and being surrounded by the state's top people while getting paid 70 dollars an hour. Seems like a dream, right? Or so she thought. L.M. Montgomery once said, "we pay a price for everything we get or take in this world". In this case, that price was a love that wasn't planned, expected, or acceptable by the rules of society. And that is, falling in love with the family's son.
