I desire that each of my servants in my service at the time of my death should receive a quarter's wages; but no present or gratuity of any kind.
"That Boy Of Norcott's"
Charles James Lever
Graham dismissed the child with a gratuity, and he and Madelon went up to the grave.
"My Little Lady"
Eleanor Frances Poynter
The nurses, the cook, the maids, and the men-servants in England always expect a wedding favor and a small gratuity at a wedding, and in this country should be remembered by a box of cake, and possibly by a new dress, cap, or bonnet, or something to recall the day.
