Description
This was done for me about 13 - 14 years ago at GEN Con by an artist named Rick Harris. I've tried to contact him, without success. (There are LOTS of Rick Harrises out there, artists or otherwise.)

I've watched a LOT of "Downton Abbey" and "Upstairs, Downstairs" (both the original and the revival) over the years. Adding a Vernesque or Wellsian scientist to the concept appealed to me. I had in mind the idea of a petite maid, possibly a girl just starting out "in service." She mentioned to her master she wished she were bigger. The scientist had been working along those lines already, and decided to test his formula on her.

The artist was obviously thinking of a French maid, where I was thinking of a young Cockney girl. But the results were still very good.

If she IS still in training, the House Maid or Head Butler is going to have a problem on his or her hands.
