She called for a servant and a young man ran over, picked up the hat, dusted it off , and placed it back on Eliza's head. jordanshoes She continually called for her servants to do simple tasks for her. Her father noticed her laziness and decided to punish her. He set her in a room with only a loom and some yarn. Jordanshoes No servants were allowed in the room. "You will stay in this room, jordanshoes not eating or drinking until you have woven a blanket for me. You have to do all of the work by yourself. Call for me when you are done".
