Maid Reading in a Library by Edouard John Menta (1858-1915) (Private Collection). Dusting.pic.twitter.com/k1VEwXU9Ta
This happened to my grandmother. She was a maid in a doctor's house, and he once discovered her reading the books in his library. She was afraid she'd be told off, but he told her she could read them whenever she wanted.

It may have helped, as my grandmother observed later, that the book he found her reading was written by him.
