Edith Coleman gave birth to her illegitimate son just before Queen Victoria died. Her parents think she should count herself lucky to be allowed to remain in the family home but Edith doesn't think that being treated as a slave counts as good luck, especially as she is regularly beaten and starved while being forced to work in the family laundry.
