CHAPTER EIGHT OF NINE IN A LADY'S GUIDE TO SOCIAL GRACES
Written by the Lady Genevieve Howlester
===Chapter Eight: Servants===
Written by the Lady Genevieve Howlester
===Chapter Eight: Servants===
The treatment of servants is usually codified within a family's framework decades before the reader shall even dream of picking up this book. Still, with new opportunities on the horizon every day within our great Empire, there are some who will not be used to interacting with servants on such a scale as may be demanded upon them in the future.
Household servants have a hierarchy of their own. The Steward rules over all those who make up the household staff. Below him stand the family scribe, and any other secretaries assigned to him. Then there is the chef, who rules the kitchen with all other cooks, washing maids, and porters. In direct service to the family, and directly takes orders from the Steward, is the Housekeeper. She orders the footmen, ladies maids, and launderesses. Finally, there is the Head Gardener, who has authority over the rest of the groundskeepers and gamekeepers.
While this hierarchy may have little impact on a guest of the house, it is important to know how to address these servants. Stewards are often times knights or another honored title. It is appropriate to refer to them as "Ser Smith" or equally "Steward Smith." The Housekeeper, Scribe, Head Gardener, are known as "Mister Smith" or "Missus Smith," etc. All other servants are merely referred to by their surname, "Smith" and so forth.
