:09:00
It was the last time His Lordship...
:09:02
... was happy to welcome
his neighbours, as in the old days.
:09:05
Of course, it had been years since
any of them had coaxed him to hunt.
:09:09
It was never a sport His Lordship
enjoyed or approved of.
:09:34
-Good morning, Ayres.
-My lord, nice to see you.
:09:42
Excuse me, sir.
:10:05
I fear I may have been a little
unwelcoming, even a little short.
:10:10
You presented the best references
I've ever seen.
:10:13
Which proved to be well-deserved.
:10:15
Though, I confess, I did have my
doubts, on account of your youth.
:10:19
No gentleman callers allowed,
of course.
:10:22
Forgive my mentioning it, but we've
had those problems before.
:10:25
Inside the house too.
:10:27
The previous housekeeper ran off
with the under-butler.
:10:31
If two staff members decide to get
married, one can say nothing.
:10:36
What I find a major irritation...
:10:38
...are those persons who go from
post to post looking for romance.
:10:44
Housekeepers are particularly
guilty here.
:10:47
-No offense intended, of course.
-None taken.
:10:50
I know how a house is at sixes and
sevens once the staff start marrying.
:10:56
Yes, indeed.
