Charles hasn't been himself lately. Forgetting simple things. Just the other day he improperly introduced a Count as an Earl. Before that occasion he handed the Exchequer the Town Barrister's overcoat! I hate to replace the old boy but I'm sure you can understand how the townspeople's tongue's must be wagging over such unforgiveable oversights! Oh, the humilation! Should I dismiss him or continue to suffer as I am now?

I know what you mean. The lower classes just aren't what they used to be!

My butler, Langston, was appalled when I read him your note. I quite agree with him that you might consider sending Mr. Charles to his neurologist for a quick check-up, as these could be the warning signs of Alzheimer's.
Or, you could go below stairs and find out what Cook has been putting in your food that is making you imagine such rubbish.

Take him out to the stable and whip him with barbed wire and throw salt on any gouges. That's what Mummy does when Gerald forgets to set the correct silver out.
I believe it works on the pool boy as well. Mum is always disciplining him, sometimes for hours at a time. She never fires him though... even after he kidnapped her and took her to Aruba...

regrettably (please forgive me for putting men right into a unmarried type - i comprehend a few men can multi-job) men won't be able to continuously multi-job, hence having to remember the position the keys are or searching for the ketchup isn't on the list of priorities. Priorities often comprise: pastime, automobiles, video games, t.v., food, social existence, artwork etc. all of us comprehend that to 'remember' we ought to finish the pastime countless situations so it is going to flow our lengthy time period memory. looking issues interior the abode is regularly a position given to the female (even as one is accessible) who does the job day in and day vacation, so the guy of the abode does not ought to debris his innovations with trivial issues. I propose you make investments in a 'mens' cupboard. In that cupboard placed issues which includes ketchup, keys, distant for the t.v. etc then you genuinely can sit down back and say "have you ever tried searching on your cupboard". best of success.

Oh my, that is a problem... My butler, John, has been oh so very overwhelming as well, maybe it is part of a butler revolt, or perhaps, the Queen is coming for some tea and they are reserving their energy for her, my fine sir. Good day

OMG! You are so lazy! You have a servant and you still complain! How about you try doing his job... I bet you can't because you're so used to everything being handed to you. I can't stand people like you... taking things for granted and complaining about those who help you and do all the tedious things in life for you and cleaning up your messes. That's horrible

Why do you call your butler by his first name, as if he were a footman? (No wonder he's confused. Not to mention insulted.)
