Answer 7

previous answers are correct.

As a precision, a lady in waiting's duties usually are ceremonial, and are about the "higher" aspects of attending the higher rank noblewoman at whose court she resides. While she's often housed, fed and clothed by her mistress, those are not considered wages, and the duties of a lady in waiting are regarded as a female counterpart of the Noble Service owned by a vassal to his Lord.

Servants, on the other hand, are just paid menials.
