Come Out of the Kitchen! by Alice Duer Miller Read by Margaret Espaillat Alice Duer Miller's 1916 romantic comedy Come Out of the Kitchen! follows wealthy Northern businessman Burton Crane, who rents a grand, run-down Southern mansion for six weeks on the unusual condition that he retain the four eccentric servants already living on the property. As Crane hosts a group of high-society guests, the household dynamics quickly turn chaotic due to the staff's unusually refined, witty, and headstrong behaviour - especially that of the charming, surprisingly talented young cook, Jane-Ellen. As romantic attraction blossoms between Crane and Jane-Ellen despite social barriers, a series of humorous misunderstandings ultimately reveals that the "servants" are actually the impoverished aristocratic siblings who own the estate, resulting in a lighthearted satire on class, privilege, and love.
