luxury ladies watches reviews image

I recall watching this movie year and years ago when I was probably between 6 and 8 years old (24 now) and I never knew what the name of it was but i've always wanted to see it again for some reason. Here is what I can remember.(before I begin, it's not "the secret garden" or "little princess"

The main thing I remember is the girl stayed in a mansion and it was snowy outside. The woman there was really mean to her and made her work in this (factory?) with other young girls. They were washing sheets in huge things of boiling water. She ended up getting burned by the water I think. I think I remember her going through a "secret door" in her bedroom to escape.

That's all I can really remember but it would be a much older movie (at least 14 years old since it's been at least that long since I saw it). If anyone has any hints please let me know!

Answer
The Wolves of Willoughby Chase (1989)
starring Stephanie Beacham
Amazon.com review of novel (cannot find movie synopsis):
Bonnie Green has lived in the lap of luxury in the manor house of Willoughby Chase in the English countryside. Her father, Sir Willoughby, is the richest man for five counties. There is much love in the house, both from her parents and the dedicated household workers. Because Lady Sophia has become ill, her parents are going on a sea voyage to restore her health. Sir Willoughby asks his attorney, Mr. Gripe, to locate a suitable governess, and he recommends one who is Bonnie's fourth cousin once removed, Miss Slighcarp, who arrives the night before the parents leave. To keep Bonnie company, Sir Willoughby has invited her cousin, Sylvia, to stay. Both will be tutored by Miss Slighcarp, who will run the estate. Sylvia is an orphan who has been living with Sir Willoughby's elderly sister, Aunt Jane. They have been barely surviving in genteel poverty, and Aunt Jane makes new clothes for the trip from her curtains. Sylvia has to make a journey by herself on the train. It is freezing cold, and wolves attack the train. One breaks the window and comes into the compartment. Fortunately, fellow passenger Mr. Grimshaw kills the wolf before it can do any damage. Later, he is injured, and Bonnie insists that they bring him to Willoughby Chase for the doctor to examine. As soon as Bonnie's parents leave, strange things start to happen. Most of the servants are dismissed, and Mr. Grimshaw and Miss Slighcarp begin looking through Sir Willoughby's papers, burning some. Miss Slighcarp also starts wearing Lady Sophia's best gowns. When Bonnie complains, she is locked in a closet with only bread and water for food. Worse treatment soon follows.

The film might vary from the novel, but this should provide enough details.

I need advice please.....?

Q. I currently work for a luxury hotel in downtown chicago. Recently i was called in for a meeting with my manager of my department as well as Dir. of engineering which in my hotel he plays the Dir. of security role (My department). I was asked a series of question regarding this guest i was helping and apparently i had spend more time that i needed to assisting the guest. My manager reviewed the cameras and i was observed showing her the property as well as assisting her in the business center (Please keep in mind that i work as overnight Security and that its not busy at all my job duties include walking of the property and assisting guest to the best of my ability) at times i perform other job duties especially working at night as a bellman and while showing this young lady to the Business center i offered to take her coat in which she agreed. I kept it professional at all times, as she stepped in the Elevator i placed my hand 1 inch away from her lower back (Not touching) the guest, my manager stated that i was seen steeping in the elevator with the guest also but i explained that she proceeded to go up to her room to retrieve some information she needed as i waiting out on the floor by the elevator. My manager stated that i was no where to be seen for 7 minutes ( No cameras on guest floors) the guest and i then were seen back on camera (No touching or any kind of contact) getting off the elevator and heading out the door yet on camera which has no audio the guest is asking me for the nearest store to purchase cigarettes as i'm exiting the building from the main entrance showing her directions. then he proceeded to ask me another series of question in regards to our employee entry card which is a hard card that we use to enter and exit our building apparently i don't use my card to exit the building but i do entering the building. I explained that as a security officer my job duties include patrolling the employee entrance as well as the perimeter. The original Director of Security quit our department a little less than a month ago, The hotel decided to promote from within the department and the Manager that is in charge now was a partner of mine along with six other guys (What I mean by partner is another Security officer with the same rank as me) all thru out my 5 months working there i noticed that he would say racist things like example " there is things coming up missing from the safe in our office you gotta watch those Puerto Ricans" he said this in front of another officer. and of course i'm the only Puerto rican working in our department, He then always proceeded to state that if he would be manager he would get rid of any security officer with experience because he says that Security with experience know this so called "Loop hole". Now i have been in the hotel industry for 10 years as a security officer. I have several times encountered other officers of Caucasian race explaining to me that our manager wants to get rid of me. I feel that he wants to get rid of me because i am Puerto Rican he asked me about the entry card and exiting the building without using it but yet i have witnessed other officers doing the same and no warnings were said to them (other caucasian officers) and while he became a manager he sends other Caucasian officers to get him coffee down the street and when they leave the building they dont even use the entry card to leave the property and they do this in front of him and all he says is keep the change and that they could've bought something for themselves, Now i was placed on administrative leave pending an investigation but yet i was not made clear on what investigation was being done i was not even made clear of what i was being investigated over, I could only assume based on the series of questioning that he provided. i have only received one form of documentation based on my tardiness in which i have not ben late for work again and when he provided this to me he explained that it was not a write up but yet a form of documentation describing that he did have a talk with me over my tardiness. I suppose to receive a call tomorrow from H.R department and im so worried because i dont know what to say or yet if they would even hear the side of my story, I feel like they have already made some decision but for what? for me doing my job? Please help me and guide me in any way. I very much appreciate your time honestly i cant sleep and im so stressed its been 3 long days.
