In the novel Sad Cypress, Milly is one of the domestic staff at Hunterbury. After the death of Laura Welman and since she did not leave a written will, Elinor Carlisle decided that Milly should get £50. With the housekeeper getting £500 and the cook £100, this suggests that Milly ranks below them and is presumably a maid. She received the same amount as Olive, another member of the household.
