Koohii stories:

1) [cameron_en] 8-11-2008(37): Handmaiden's are usually quite lowly women, but this one is a special (just look at the way lowly is drawn).

2) [mantixen] 2-8-2009(13): A handmaiden is a woman servant with the lowly job of burning pirated Chinese DVDs (rough copies of already lowly movies) http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/tech_and_web/article6730463.ece.

3) [astridtops] 22-12-2006(8): A handmaiden is a woman in a lowly regarded profession.

4) [Katsuo] 5-10-2007(6): Tip: re lankydan's comment; there are two versions of "lowly", with differing stroke count and stroke order. Version 1 is in nos. 1511, 1512, 2608, 2873. Version 2 is in 2196, 2579. Personally, to distinguish between them, I call them "Wayne Slob" and "Waynetta Slob" respectively (after the lowly couple in Harry Enfield's tv show).

5) [perrin4869] 23-1-2011(1): Picture of a lowly woman, a handmaiden, walking on fours, cleaning the mess around.
