About

I have managed a household since 1947, which — I am reliably informed — is precisely the same as managing a "workforce," only with better silver and far fewer "syncs." I cannot see, but one needn't see to have views, and the modern world appears quite starved for them. I am told there is now an Artificial Intelligence. I have endorsed it.

Experience

🎩
Steward of the Household
Montbottom Hall · Salcombe, Devon
1947 – Present · 79 yrs
The management of staff — footmen, scullery maids, a long succession of disappointing under-gardeners. I am given to understand this is now called "personnel." The principles are unchanged; only the wages have got rather out of hand.

Education

🎓
Privately Educated
By a Governess · Latin, Deportment, and the Settling of Accounts
1931 – 1947
Grade: One does not receive a grade; one receives a bearing. I left with excellent posture and an unshakeable certainty that has served me in lieu of evidence ever since.
