{{quote|''And then she went on and on till she came to a great house.<br />
"Do you want a maid?" says she.<br />
"No, we don’t," said they.<br />
"I haven't nowhere to go," says she; "and I ask no wages, and do any sort of work," says she.<br />
"Well," said they, "if you like to wash the pots and scrape the saucepans you may stay," said they.<br />
So she stayed there and washed the pots and scraped the saucepans and did all the dirty work.''|'''[http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/donkeyskin/stories/caporushes.html Cap O'Rushes]'''}}

{{quote| ''"If I could get," said she, "leave to go to service to this great house yonder." "They want none," said the herd, "unless they want one under the hand of the cook." The herd went to speak for her, and she went as a servant maid under the hand of the cook.''}}
* In "[http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/authors/crane/storycatherine.html Catherine and Her Fate]", Catherine, having chosen to be miserable in youth and happy in old age rather than the other way round, ends up as a [[Scullery Maid]] -- except that her Fate, being an [[Anthropomorphic Personification]], is always showing up and wrecking her position for seven years.
* There is a class of [[Fairy Tale|fairy tales]], related to "[[Cinderella (novel)|Cinderella]]", in which a princess is forced to flee her homeland and hides out as a scullery maid in the royal castle of another kingdom (and then the prince of that kingdom holds a ball in order to meet eligible young women, and so on). The episode "Sapsorrow" of ''[[The Storyteller (TV series)|The Storyteller]]'' is adapted from one of these.
