Rule Number One for working for a white lady, Minny: it is nobody's business. You keep your nose out of your White Lady's problems, you don't go crying to her with yours-you can't pay the light bill?

And when Miss White Lady catches her man with the lady next door, you keep out of it, you hear me?
("The Help")
