I absolutely love Upstairs, Downstairs. I really love that it starts with the lady of the house declaring that a servant has to change her name - no sugarcoating of how the upper class treated their help.

Foreword, part 3:

That majestic old house looked exactly like the kind of place you would set a ghost story, and years after we sold it we heard that it had been featured in one of those TV shows about paranormal stuff. It had all the right trappings.



Only the Living Feel Remorse has none of those classic ghost story trappings. It’s set in a grimy, go-nowhere industrial town known to locals as Shithole. Our haunted narrator is nothing like an exotic wealthy industrialist or a backstairs servant that you might find in a more conventional story. He’s a guy who drinks too much, works dead-end jobs, sleeps in his clothes. He has no friends — unless you count the bottles of cheap booze that clutter his low-rent apartment.

Yup. He’s delusional. Won’t survive a week without his servant-hand-massaged wagyu beef.

See also the mental divide between, say, how great it’d be to have servants versus how awful it’d be to be a servant (to take an apocryphal example)

Tiny servant was a transmutation spell used to temporarily animate one or more small objects into faithful servants. Such as a mug of ale. #dnd#forgottenrealms#Realmslore@olgadrebas.bsky.socialforgottenrealms.fand...

Agree he's not dishonest but his judgement was very poor. I hope it will all be forgotten if they succeed in their policy aims and make lives better for ordinary people. I think the Sue Grey was probably a mistake, she's a rational civil servant not a politician. He needs better people around him.
