• my butler always gave me a withering stare

    Discipline issues like this are best resolved quickly with a damn good flogging.

  • Good grief man, you can't flog the butler. Footmen, maids and gardeners, fine, but the butler gets the honorific 'Mr' and it would be jolly bad form to flog him.

  • you can't flog the butler

    But you can bash the Bishop. Honestly, etiquette is a minefield 🤷‍♂️

  • Footmen, maids and gardeners, fine

    Up to a point. While all can be chastised, flogging is strictly for footmen and stable boys. The gardener should be caned, and, as any fule kno, maids should be spanked

  • But it's the butler that will be doing the flogging.

    Wait, is that not how your household operates?
