Did Mr Napier get off all right?He did, My Lord.And poor Mr Pamuk has been taken care of?We got Grassbys, from Thirsk, in the end.They're very good and they didn't mind coming out on a Sunday.Is everyone all right downstairs?Well, you know.He was a handsome stranger from foreign parts one minuteand the next, he was as dead as a doornail.It's bound to be a shock.Of course, upstairs or down. It's been horrid for the ladies,and for the female staff, I expect?It's particularly hard on the younger maids.Indeed.Don't let the footman be too coarse in front of them.Thomas likes to show off.We must have a care for feminine sensibilities.They are finer and more fragile than our own.
