I would like to have been a coal baron in the late eighteenth century building my great house on my grand country estate whilst the plebs toiled relentlessly underground and made me rich beyond the comprehension of croesus. Stebbings would have been at my beck and call organising my household and supervising a legion of hot and cold running peasants all indentured for and responding to my to every whim and pleasure. The little ma'amsahid would be rolled out on the odd occasion of a social gathering but otherwise busy herself with flowers or draperies or whatever it is the womenfolk employ themselves with; organising the menus and making sure cook was up with the latest from Paris. Deuced if that damned woman hasn't decided to change the upholstery in the drawing room again! Some damned new fabric from India or some such place. Blasted woman read about it in The Lady or some equally radical periodical, anyway, damned if I can be putting up with such nonsense I'll have to speak to Stebbings and get it sorted I suppose....
