From the text:

But she was in no position to do this by herself. She did not dare to ask her father to help, and the servant girl would
certainly not have assisted her, for although this girl, about sixteen years old, had courageously remained since the
dismissal of the previous cook, she had begged for the privilege of being allowed to stay permanently confined to the kitchen and of having to open the door only in answer to a special summons.
