Fanny and the Servant Problem

by Jerome K. Jerome

Jerome K. Jerome’s comedy of 1908: Fanny, a music-hall star, marries a young lord and arrives at his house to find that its servants are her own relations, who do not approve of her at all. The butler, her uncle, has firm views on how a lady behaves. It is light and kind, and below stairs has the best lines.
